Olivia heard the music and her eyes light up
her excitement over the ice cream truck was
almost tangible. All the neighborhood kids gathered
round and purchased their ice cream. Livy waited
patiently for Braden and Tristen to return with
their spoils. When they returned from the
truck with only ice cream for themselves, I watched
her excitement deflate as she realized there was nothing
for her. It broke my heart into a million pieces. I know
life it not fair but just this once I was going to spare
her that reality. I flew off the porch and grabbed
some cash to buy her her own ice cream. She
choose the pink panther ice cream and enjoyed
every messy lick and drip.
