I smiled as I thought of her while walking toward the shoe section. I went to the row featuring my size 9 and started my search. Nothing really jumped out at me and my quest was very short lived. As I was leaving the shoe section a pretty pair of heels caught my attention.
The sparkly, strappy sandals were in the size 7 section. I had no business entering the section at all. I could no more fit into a size 7 than Cinderella's evil step sister could shove her chubby foot into the glass slipper. But for some reason I was drawn into the aisle anyway. I just wanted to see the pretty shoe up close. I was drawn to it...wanted to touch it and hold it.
I approached the sandal and was flabbergasted when I got close enough to see the name of the designer branded across the arch. It was made by Ralph Lauren...with LAUREN in big letters down the middle. Again I smiled and looked toward heaven, saying a quick "Hello" to my precious girl. I think she was saying "Hello" to me.
Thank you Lauren for letting me know you're doing well. I still miss you everyday and I long to see you again. I love you.
