The mornings fresh spring air was the best it has been in many years sparkling like ripples on the water full of opportunities and endless joy.  They were all sitting still not sure if they should feel as anxious as they were feeling.  Their hearts pounding and thoughts racing.  Passing by familiar places and the destination unknown to them.  They have known disappointment before and were not sure if this time it would be worse than the previous experiences.  Then the road appeared to be slowly emptying to toward a tunnel of faith and dreams each child full of their own desires and wonder. The fence railing look familiar as all pictures recalled from memory lead them to believe that they were in fact embarking on some new adventure.  The pebbles in the road seemed a little more bumpy than normal as it tossed one after another against the side of the road.  Dust clinging to the side of our windows.  Breathes seemed to get louder as we began to see the dance of the sunlight against the bodies of horses running along every held breath and the closer we got to the end of the drive confused half asleep children asked many questions anxiously awaiting answers.  We exited the van and began to walk cautiously as we approached the face of the solid barn it was lit up by morning sun almost as magical as a dusting of fairy powder spread over the ground in which they walked.  We pushed open the door and climbed inside the most natural and most beautiful smiles spread across all their faces. Horses happily greeted us with their own form of happiness. Given us a chance to collect our thoughts as we embraced each one with a friendly greeting.  Noting all the strange names that were given to a sign above their heads and wonder how each one was given to them.  With some grace we approached the stall of a horse in which had no name he was bright eyed and as anxious to meet its new family members.  He sniffed the air and gave his full attention to us.  Me and Daddy smiled at each other and grabbed each others hands as if we about to fall off the edge of reality because what we were about to do was to share with our family the news that this was not just a dream anymore and that we have a new family member to name.  Wild eyes starred at me cautious straying away from me at the same time it was taking a little more time for the information to settle in ones mind she looked up with a stream of tears half of joy half of pain blankly she uttered the words..thank you..and the little ones followed suit.  Magic is what his name became as I slowly opened my eyes to greet the start of a new day and an overwhelming notion that this was only a dream lead me to feel more pain and anguish than I wish to endure.
