I wake up with little Alidan's legs on my chest, and his arm across my face. He looks so peaceful while he sleeps. I wonder what he is dreaming about. I sit slowly on the comfortable bed, and check the time. It is 9:13 am. My mom is already showering.
I try to avoid waking up my little man, since he went to bed way past his bedtime last night. I stand up quietly and head to the kitchen for some water. While grabbing a bottle of water, I notice the orchids on the table. I try to ignore them, but I can't... So I take them and walk to the trash can, opening the trash can's lid. But why can't I bring myself to throw them away? Ugh! I grunt, closing the lid and putting the flowers back in the tall glass.
