Ellen and Eric
adored him immediately as did their spouses and children, Kelli’s
grandchildren. He’d play trucks and
dolls on the floor for hours with them.
He was abundant with energy. And
always had open arms for Kelli.
The Aer Lingus
plane arrived at the airport earlier than scheduled. Neither Kelli nor Paddy brought
laptops. Or work. This was their vacation. Time to access where
they were in their relationship. But
both already knew.
The ride to County Cork
was record time. The jet-lagged coupled
held hands nearly the whole way to the cottage. When they arrived, a neighbor
had stocked the refrigerator and pantry so Kelli and Paddy could begin their much
needed respite immediately. Even the
cottage was cleaned by a family friend.
Wood was neatly stacked inside the stone fireplace with an impressive
reserve to the side of the hearth. Irish
strew was ready for warming and the table was set for two. Candles included.
