Norman Rockwell's art, my story
On a gloomy monday, Johnny, Jacob, Jessica, their mother Monica, and their dog sprinkles wait un patiently because todays the day that Dad comes home from the war. So, they all are helping mom with cleaning the house, and cooking, and the kids set up the table. They make the place spotless for welcoming Dad back. After all that is done, time flew by. It was 6:30. The time he was suppose to arrive but, he was a no show.. They were hoping he would come back today because Christmas was in two days!! After all, what is Christmas without dad? All the presents were under the tree, there was many for Dad not bought, but handmade from the children. As they are all upstairs in Moms room, the wait by the window with a Christmas reef on it showing Christmas spirit. 7:30 comes around and he's still not there. The kids wonder why he isn't, and the mother wonders if something happened. All of a sudden a yellow cab pulls into their driveway, and everyone jumps up with HUGE smiles on their faces waiting to see if Dad's getting out of that yellow shabby cab. The man steps out, and it's their father. The mother and kids, smile at him and wave through the window because they are so happy to see him! Even the dog is drooling with joy. The family runs down stairs, swings open the door, almost blowing it off the hinges. The kids run to him, Jessica gets there first jumping on her dad hugging him, then the boys come after. Last but not least, he puts the kids down after hugging them for a while and grabs his wife gently, lays her back and romantically kisses her and says "I've been waiting to do that for a long time." She then smiles, and a tear drops from her eye down to her rosy cheeks. When the kids notice this, they run up to Dad and they all hug him creating a group hug. Monica then tells him, "Come inside, I made your favorite dinner, and i even made desert for you." The kids run inside, and following them is Monica and her husband with his arm around her. Daddy's home, everything alright now, no more worrying.
