When my grand daughter was about 10 or so, I saw her face go suddenly pale. Truly, I thought she was going to faint. We were in a hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico and had been having a great time, so I couldn't figure what was the matter.
"Nancy? What's wrong honey?"
"Grandma," her eyes filled with tears, "I think I have a crush."
The story for Bonnie's Surprise came a similar type of situation. The only difference was that the person who told me that story wasn't 10. They were 70 years older than that and it struck me how love works. It doesn't matter if your 2 or 100, when love strikes, it takes over your life, it changes the colors of the world, it changes you, and you can barely think straight. That's why I wrote the story, to show that love is amazing in it's power on us.
Starting Friday night, Dec. 6th at midnight through the next day, Dec. 7 at midnight, I'll be offering Bonnie's Surprise for free again.
I hope you enjoy the story, please let me know what you think.
