a bottle of coke

i decided to buy a nice cold beverage - Coca-Cola - for my family last night as a suprise. i knew they'd mentioned liking it and i'd never seen them drink it. mind you, i gave up all carbonated beverages on principle at the age of 7. (sure i make exceptions on occassion for special drinks).

but there are other principles i have too
about celebrating, about life, about love.

so last night we all had a glass.
we were all sitting on the bed.
i taught them how to say "cheers"
and how to toast one another.
we all drank.
we were all smiles.
everyone together.
everyone toasting.
it was priceless.
it was beautiful.
i'll never forget it.
who would have thought...
one little bottle of pop.
could bring so much.
joy.
