Once upon a time....

 

there was a boy who wanted to go for a hike

so he and his mom gathered their backpacks

trekked up to the trails

 

the boy got tired so he opted for a ride.....took a break halfway up to take in the view

 

attempted to use the cleanest porta potty on earth and failed....so they continued up a long winding path

needed a break to accidentally pee in his pants......hopped back in the pack pantless....yet insisted on continuing on up

 to the fort at the top....close to heaven....to take in the sights....look for Mom's house....take enough time to wave and say I'm ready to go down....

 

while the mom prays she doesn't fall into one of these with a 50 pound load on her back...and she didn't....

 

and the boy who promised he'd walk a little on the way down so mom didn't slip.....fell asleep within seconds of starting their decent....

and the mom hiked it back down 

met lots of nice people

who thought she was amazing

when all she was doing

was carrying her boy

sleeping and cute

whom she'd carry any load big or small for

because she loved him 

to the heavens and back

and back again 

and again.....

The End .
