Circus Day!

Every October, the Shrine Circus
comes to town.
Every fall, since our kids came to us,
my Mom has wanted to go
to the circus.
We always had something going on,
or a reason not to go.
When we found out that
the chemo was no longer working and
her time might be shorter than we thought,
it was time to go to the circus.
For the kids, it was their first "real" circus.
It did not disappoint.
There were tigers, trapeze artists,
elephants, and goats.
And of course, there were
light up toys, popcorn, and
cotton candy.
My only regret,
that we waited so long to go.
I wish that the first time Mom had asked
we would have said,"Yes, let's go."
We wouldn't have had to wonder, will this
be the last time she'll go to a circus with
the kids. I am thankful that we
did go, so that next year when the
circus comes to town, the kids will
be able to say,"Remember when
we saw the circus with Oma and Papa."
