The Husband's IQ

Carl was sitting at ease with a cigar while his daughter was by his semi-conscious wife's bedside.

Farah was sobbing uncontrollably, "Get well soon, Mom."

Hearing his daughter's sobs, the Dad gave out a chortle.

Sarah was quick to ask him the reason for his behavior.

Freedom

Sammy was standing in the cool breeze with her eyes shut. 

Her hair blew across the eyes that she tucked back now and then. 

The grass and the leaves were also celebrating this special day by rustling, "Celebrations!" into her ear.

"What should we do with it, grandma?" he asked innocently, "Mom doesn't allow us to eat them, once fallen."

Granny paused for a bit; it helped her cool down.

My Rockstar!

One unforgettable torrid evening, I get unexpected news from my brother, "She is no more!"

I grew numb at first then shouted and cried relentlessly.
