It
was late Saturday afternoon, as Daniel and Tony pulled into
magnolia lane, Margo's heart felt like it was pounding out of
her chest, she ran over to the car to meet him . you
would have thought it had been forever since she had seen him,
it had only been 5 day. he got out of the car and and said
wow, what a greeting ,then he kind of laughed. I'm just so happy
to see you she said I have been fine until now ,it just
seems like a dream I have waited so long for tomorrow to come. I
guess I've just been worried it wouldn't happen, and. tears
filled her eyes .Daniel took her in his arms and held her close.
He said, baby how could you think that? He lifted her face, up
to look into her eyes, and he said. sweetie I promise you I am
always going to be here. Then he kissed her ,and she looked into
his beautiful blue eyes and she knew everything would be
alright.
Tony
got out of the car and looked at misty and said, what, you
didn't miss me, then he laughed. of course I did silly said
misty, and she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. That's
better, he said. and he slid his arm around her waist and said lets
give these two some time together. Ok ,she said ,and they walked
up to the porch and sat down on the swing ,grandma Mary came out
and said, do you young folks want anything to eat. we're fine Mrs.
king, said Tony but thanks. no trouble Tony, and you make me
feel old just call me grandma, and she laughed. will do grandma
said Tony.
in
a few minutes they heard another car pull into the driveway. it
was Joanne and Bill and Teddy and Marilyn. well, said grandma, as
they all walked up on the porch. looks like the whole gang is
here. you folks go on inside now and I'll get us some tea. Joanne
hugged her and said ok mom, are you coming in ? I'll be
right there said grandma, don't you worry none. Joanne turned to
go inside ,she watched as her mom looked up at the sky, and she
heard her say. just look at this place Sam, it looks like old times, our
girl is here, and she looks as beautiful as she always has been. and
look at our little Margo, she's going to marry Daniel tomorrow,
just like I knew she would .she's as beautiful as her mother.
then she leaned against
one of
the pillars on the porch and tears fell from her eyes as she
said. I
miss you so much, but it won't be long old man ,so
you just get ready I'll be there soon. and Sam, I'm gonna leave
my precious magnolia lane, to Margo and Daniel. I know Joanne
won't mind, Margo loves this old place as much as I do. well,
you keep the light on in our mansion and I'll be there soon
darling, and she blew a kiss to the wind. And wiped the tears
from her eyes on her apron ,and went off to join the rest of them.
Joanne made sure her mom didn't see her she wouldn't
want to
embarrass
her. so she walked over to Mary and hugged her and
said I wish dad could be here mom ,he would be so proud of Margo
.yes he would honey and, he thought the world
of Daniel. I know
he did mom. how are you feeling, said
Joanne? well I have felt better honey. but don't you worry I'll
be fine beside, Tomorrow is all about Margo and Daniel,
it's their day to shine.
now lets go join the others
