And he sleeps

 My grandson David is spending the weekend with me. Last night he refused to go to bed so he fell asleep by the aquarium and I slept in my recliner. It was peaceful and he woke up at five am an hour ahead of my alarm. No biggie. I fed all the animals in the dark and we headed to town. David kept commenting on how dark it was. No street lights in the country and not a lot of people out at six am on a Sunday morning.  We hit the donut shop and went to where the balloons were supposed to land. I think we waited 5 minutes until we saw the first of around 20 hot air balloons.  He was so excited and loved it. I told him that I would ride one in a couple of weeks and he wants to ride one too. We rode the buggy. Played outside.  Ate carmel apples. Watched a show in the middle of the day, but David was not having a nap today. He finally went to sleep around 7:30 and I've watched him sleep for the longest time. He looks like an angel and his heart is full of so much love.  I pray that he'll remember good things about me. More than chocolate gravy or donuts or kolaches. I wish he could stay little forever but the world needs good men and I know he's one.
