countdown.

thrilled to cross the day off.

messily ripping calendar pages off and shyly smiling @ the new month.

slowly the days tick by & suddenly it is 4 days away.

most of you are counting down till christmas.

to tip your stocking upside down & sink your teeth into that orange.

but this ginger is counting down till that big airplane gallup's off the runway & into Gods sky. the clouds putting stories into her head

& the cry of a baby ahead making her smile.

tightly rolling christmas dresses into the tiny blue suite case & imagining the adrenaline of seeing clementine across the airport.

4 days away. she whispers.
