she pounded wet sand into a blue, castle-shaped plastic toy. "ill make a castle for you, baby." he wiggled around, smiling, waiting for mama to make her next move. "ta-dah!" the mound stood rather majesticlly for a moment. that is to say until it half collapsed, washing away in a wave. none the less, the little one gazed upon his mama's creation with something like a look of admiration. she peered up at her husband, 20 or so feet away. thumbs up and a wink; he sent these as his love floated through the wind on the sunday afternoon. Her heart warmed as she turned toward her child. "you are my little prince and i love you as big as the ocean," she whispered in his ear. greeted with a small hug, her heart filled. the cold sea grazed their feet.
there would be a high tide that night.
