Being satisfy that all is set for church, Diandra went into the kitchen and get about storing away the groceries, but then her stomach growls.
Stopping, she takes a pack of juice and made some sandwiches for the evening and packing his sandwich for church service in the morning into a zip lock bag.
One time, placing it in the refrigerator, she then place the remaining sandwich into a container for their dinner. Taking a small sandwich she eat and drink the juice.
Storing away the groceries once more when she heard him call, "That rest was fast?"
Going to the stairway calling out to him, "Mummy, is right her honey," seeing how sweetly he smiles and was about to run down the stairs, pointing her fingers towards him.
"No running down the stairs young man," but his laughter was a wicked one. "Don't be naughty for Mummy, I have something for you."
Seeing him taking his time and walk down the stairs, then stop before the last three steps and sits down. "Champ comes on, I have work to do."
"Mummy, Champ tired."
Diandra walks up to the third step and sits beside him then picks him up and puts him on her lap. "Tell Mummy what work Grandpa give my baby to do today?"
"Mummy, I push, Granpa chair."
"You did;" kissing his cheeks when he nodded.
"Mummy, Granpa said, Champ is very smart and I am a big boy."
"Oh sweetie, your Grandpa is right, my baby is very smart and he is getting strong. Squeezing his foot, "I am sure you are tired doing all that hard work?"
"Mummy, Granpa said, I am a brave boy and I don't cry anymore."
"Your grandpa said all of that?" "Yes mummy, mummy I like sleeping with grandpa."
"You do?" "Yes, mummy."
"Well, mummy has to fatten you up, so those muscles could get strong to push grandpa around."
Raining kisses on his face hearing him laugh. Loving the way he laughs just brings the house alive , that's why Maria and Sam love keeping him.
"Come on, mummy will give her baby a backy ride to the kitchen."
Giving him a sandwich, "Mummy, milk please."
"Yes, honey mummy is coming," Knowing how he loves his milk, Diandra drink some along with him.
While he eats, she completed the packing of the groceries. "Now let me see those muscles hearing him laughs so loud brings joy to her heart.
He knows when he raises his hand she tickle him, "Mummy stops," wiggling in her arms and laughing.
"Okay, you can choose a snack you want then we will have some ice-cream."
When the clock strikes six, Diandra had completed the dishes and the wiping of the countertop.
Fixing two ice creams in cones, his vanilla and hers chocolate. Diandra, admires the way he enjoys his ice cream, then he sits on the mat playing with his toy soldiers.
Lying on the couch recapping the day's events, reaching early at the gravesite, using the penknife to dig the hole to plant the roses. It's a good thing the soil was soft and it didn't take long.
By nine-o-clock, she was already at Ken's office. There she work for two hours, then getting a drop with Ken at the train station.'

Alex lie down on his bed as her visualize how beautiful she look. 'Four years we have been separated and she looks so neat and clean.
Her hair was not in a mess with the scarf tied, recalling how she had just rolled her hair and banded it that day she left. Recalling how it is band today it is definitely different.
'Oh Lord, why didn't I looked for her earlier than today. I never thought I would have missed her so much, but seeing her today I now understand why I never was interested to take any one to bed.
The memories of her that night wanting her so much, and now seeing her after so long. Alex knew he must find a way to see her again. We have to talk and I must find out if she has met anyone as Roxanne said.
Closing his eyes thinking, of how beautiful she has become, 'None of the women he have met can compared to her beauty.'

Feeling his tiny hand on her face, "Mummy."
"Yes love, you ready for bed?"
Seeing him nodded, "Okay let us go."
Climbing the stairs Diandra heard the clock bang nine times, looking at the clock to make sure she was hearing right.
"Oh my God, did I fell asleep while he was playing unsupervised, what sort of mother am I? Thank God he is not a child that's run around doing mischief."
Recalling the words some of those parents, how they complain about the type of mischief their children does.
"Father, I thank you for keeping your eyes upon my child, and for your divine protection always, Lord helps me to be a better mother, you know I was tired from all that traveling."
After his bath, Diandra dresses him in his PJ for bed, "Mummy last night Champ sleep with Granpa, tonight, Champ sleep with Mummy."
"Okay honey, mummy will like that very much."
Lying next to him after her bath telling him the story of the three little pigs. Then we sing Jesus loves the little children.
Diandra knows when she start the story he falls asleep so she prayed with him then he pray. Hearing him asks her to tell him the story, "Mummy please tells me the story of David and Go-liath."
"Okay, honey but then you go to sleep."
"Yep, mummy," kissing her, while narrating the story, seeing his eyes lids grew heavy, and then he yawns, a few times as his eyes closed.
A few minutes later he was asleep, before Diandra finish the story. It was already after ten, "Lord, I hope he doesn't give any trouble to wake up in the morning and help me to fall asleep as easily as him."
