Ode to Marian

Thumbs

Oh the thumb-sucker's thumb

May look wrinkled and wet

And withered, and white as the snow,

But the taste of a thumb

Is the sweetest taste yet

(As only we thumb-suckers know).

Shel Silverstein

Ah, Marian, how we miss thee!

And the nails you let the kids paint:

And the back of your car that you let the kids ride in:

The cooking, baking and ramen-making that little helpers shadowed you for:

And the fuzzy caterpillars you helped the kids find:

We are glad Kyle and Kane get to have a turn enjoying their Auntie and we are glad you got to live with us for a while. Come back to visit!
