Chapter Three, Con't

Our day was filled with love and laughter, giggles and screams, ice cream cones and stuffed toy prizes that Kurt won for the girls from the shooting gallery. Kurt was a real trouper that day as he escorted the lovely little angels onto the Ferris wheel, the roller coaster and into Kiddie Land to ride the small children’s rides with them as Brenda and I stood outside the gates  and watched what we both considered a miraculous event. Smiling from ear to ear, we talked about nothing but how this day happened only by divine intervention and how it was because of Kurt’s good heart and loving nature that we were all here together, sharing love, joy and a few thrills too. We walked the length of my old stomping grounds as we peered into the gift shops and bait shops and had snacks in just about every food shop along the way to the end of the pier where fishermen and families, young boys with new poles and old men with old poles gathered to do what they have done for as long as I’ve been born and longer; drop their baited lines into the Pacific Ocean and pray for a bite.
