Those Will be the Days

Yoombeanieyoombwabwa: the word that traveled down the hall and around the corner at approximately 9:30 every night. Only we will know what it means because we made it that way Bull chasing and matching clothes that one time we wanted to be spies and we always played the scratching game then we learned how to dance but your dad told you no and gave you a ball instead.

Those will be the days.

Eggs. Pancakes and Eggs. 3 in the morning Sunday night and I’m suppose to be at school eggs, over easy and a little to cheesy but McCall will only eat your type of eggs and you take pride but Brenna isn’t far behind kinda eggs.

Those will be the days.

The little boy who lies but keeps us all on our toes he meows when he’s sorry meows when he’s mad meows when he’s tired and meows when he’s sad. It took him awhile to come around but sleepovers and Christmas lights kneaders instead of class and hammock sits fights and dropping sick beats he’s too smiley and has an abnormally big head he was told to wear a helmet but the “democracy” and hiding from Quincy took precedence instead.

Those will be the days.

Gallon smashing 2 in the morning tickets and lies the white Cadillac and jeep jamin birthday songs fountain dancing and the concerts that brought new smells tire swings and watermelon rooftops&volleyball in the sand

Those will be the days.

Those will be the days I miss most when I’m old and moved away and fighting over kitchen parts and those scooter days Diamond Rio will be of the past like eerie notes we squeaked through on the strings dad has never seen “big” &holly and Christi can flip their eye lids

Those will be the days.

Angie stopped coming in 2011 and that Christmas was in 2003 that pond day and not school day and school has never been the same since that day was 2013. The days after the crash were the hardest, questioning life, what’s next, and who is this man they call God. Finding the answers and communicating with that God spending those nights crying on my knees, now those…

Those will be the days.
