This year Rachael and I planted an amaryllis bulb just before Thanksgiving. We were amazed at how fast and how big it grew. Every day Rachael would point out it's progress to me. It has fully bloomed and looks amazing. I think we've found a new Christmas tradition.
Rachael did it. I think she's too young for it, or maybe I'm just not ready. It was so out of the blue. She took me completely by surprise. I was frozen for a second or two. Thoughts of "What am I going to do? What am I going to say?" ran through my mind.
But, she did it. She looked me in the eye and said, "Why?"
