She was listening to Elvis.
She was singing softly.
She was smiling.
She was swaying to the music.
She was enjoying herself.
I think I ruined it a little by announcing my presence, but it's not like I could just stand there like some sort of creep and wait until she noticed me.
Mom asked me to come and stay the night because she was alone, and I was more than happy to oblige.
Things in the house have been so hectic lately, with the wedding only two weeks away. I think there hasn't been a quiet moment for me to appreciate her as much as there was tonight.
She is so beautiful, Dad.
From the lines of concentration on her face when she's reading a document to the small smile that seems almost a reflex when she relaxes against the soft tones of 'Love Me Tender'.
There's this smile of hers, I've realized, that comes on only when she sees that I've brought her a new packet of M&Ms and it's become one of my favorite things in the world.
Probably why I keep taking them for her.
I can't look at a packet of M&Ms without smiling or thinking of her now.
Linc has caught me grinning at the vending machine at the hospital way too many times now.
He's begun to give me a strange look.

Her price was making me play the piano for her.
How can I deny someone who asks me for such simple things, Dad?
While I played, she told me stories about herself that her mother would tell me.
Here are some of the things that I know;
1. She has expensive taste – which I'm beginning to doubt a bit with her penchant for candy floss, pier carnivals, M&Ms and McDonald's.
2. She is a picky eater – which she did prove in a sense, but I just think she has preferences
3. She is lazy – which I think is just a parent's way of chastising your relaxation. I know my own mother would say the same if I was just sitting somewhere on a day off
