Dancing in the sunshine

 


On Father's Day, Sarah and Che presented me with Banana Tree shrubs because I love them.  

"You have to stay alive until they bloom Dad," Che smiles.  

"It takes a year to a year-and-a-half to bloom," Sarah smiles.

I erupt in laughter at the preposterousness of the idea, and end up smiling with them. 

Since then, the shrubs have sat on a window sill, just out of direct sunlight, per the instructions. 

Today, I planted them, two in the ground and two in pots. 

They still make me smile. 

It is an unclouded day now but they're calling for thunderstorms soon. 

It sounds like a Biblical prophesy aimed just at me.  

For the moment though, our banana trees are firmly taking root, baptized in water I shower them with and dancing in the bright, hot sunshine.  

And for these moments, so am I, still smiling because of the love that surrounds me.

My Celebration is winding down to the end,  while Sarah and Che have a whole new beginning coming soon.
