snot on my shoulder - cause I've been loved by our smallest one
pat on the head - cause the black-haired youngest offspring has lovingly passed behind my chair
masterful gift wrapping with perfect curly ribbons - cause the sandwiched daughter adds extra love as a finishing touch
goofy face in family photos - cause hairless son-in-law fills the left ventricle of my heart
words of thanks - cause red-headed gal thinks to acknowledge the little things
helpful hands - cause the tallest one sees my fatigue
bright side of things noticed - cause the humorist in the eldest son always sees it
turkey carcass in my soup pot - cause thoughts of a sister's turkey carcass simultaneously submerged pop into my brain
wide-stance-hands-in-pockets musings - cause moments observing or listening to my brother link laugh, language, and Lairdisms back a generation or two
calls or visits perfectly timed - cause my mother always knows
heartwarming stories - cause my dad shares them with love, wisdom, and humor
efforts given - cause my father-in-law does everything possible to assist
bulwark of strength - cause my eternal companion is by my side loving, forgiving, strengthening, and listening
