Lullaby

I woke up to a sound from the baby monitor.

It was my wife singing one of my favourite lullabies to our two-year-old son.

I didn't know she knew it.

I snuggled in bed and listened to her beautiful voice.

It was the song my mother used to sing to me, when the storms came. Before she died.

As the lullaby finished, I felt something with my feet, it was my wife's feet, I turned and saw her fast asleep beside me.

Just as this happened, I heard a voice from the baby monitor say,

"Grandma will be back tomorrow night, sweetie,"
