rainbow bright

I’m not particularly a fan of my single mom shared parenting situation – I miss my little boy to my core when he’s not with me.  And I do little things to try to stay connected with my guy when he’s with his dad – phone calls, video chats.

One day recently, we had a strong mid-day rainstorm, and a bit later, I was having a phone chat with Jackson.  He often makes reference to things he can see that the phone companion can’t, so I was a bit hesitant when he excitedly asked me if I could see the rainbow in the sky … but when I went outside, it was “right there!!”  And it was huge, and clear, and bright and gorgeous. 

I was visually smitten for a moment.  It was beautiful… perhaps the prettiest rainbow I’ve seen in my adult years.  Surely it could mean some good luck?…. :)

But the best part about it was that it was something I could share with Jackson, that spanned the distance between us at that very moment.  Our very own Fivel moment (y’all like my 80s reference?) :)
