Dear Diary,
Today I got up early to watch the sun rise. It was just as beautiful as last night sun set. Kenshin woke so we could watch it together.
Clouds broke the endless expanse that was the sky. The bright colors reflected off of them creating a surreal world of its own. The yellow orange sunset restored my hope and reminded me of the emotions I had experienced the previous day. No matter how hard I try, I can never completely capture the beauty that surrounds this memory on paper.
Kenji rose late today. Since he was up late last night, no thanks to Kenshin, he was in bad mood. Last night was absolutely wonderful but that doesn't mean he gets off the hook. I decided to let them have some father son bonding time. I know I'm just as bad Megumi used to be. It's her fault though. What can I say. She was a great teacher.
Since I've had Kenji, I think I've started to appreciate life, the joys and the sorrows. I almost lost Kenji when he was born, but thanks to Megumi's expertise he was allowed to remain living. I think that is when I realized how precious life really is. One small thing can tip the balance of how things were meant to be.
I decided that today I was going to look around and explore the places surrounding our little paradise beach. There were some cliffs near by and I wanted to see how good the view was from a top them. To see how it is to look down upon things from a higher place and to see the never ending sea stretch further into the horizon.
The trail to the top was steep and rocky. I was forced to stop many times on the way up. It was obvious that the trail was well worn but that didn't make the climb any easier. Only a few hints of green could be seen on the path. Mostly the only thing that I could see during the hour that I climbed to the top of the cliff was the continuous brown and gray rocks. The only thing that willed me to keep going was the promise of a beautiful sight when I got to the top.
When I reached the top, I was convinced that my efforts were not in vain. The sight that greeted me was absolutely astonishing. The ocean truly did continue on relentlessly until it became one with the sky. The suns image on the water was jagged and broken making the water appear a multitude of colors. The suns heat tried to reach me but the cool wind kept cutting it off.
A ship was sailing in from the distance. It was a schooner. It was probably owned by someone rich who lived in the west. Its many sails billowed in the wind. They set a sharp contrast to the hard blue sky It continued on forward with a majestic beauty all the while continuing to follow the line of the horizon. I could see people on deck scurrying about to get their jobs done. One solitary figure stood on bored looking at the beach and the ocean with the same dreamy look I had.
I looked down and was filled with fear. I didn't realize before exactly how hi up I was. The waves were beating mercilessly against the side of the cliff. Far out the water seemed calm and serene. Here, directly below where I was standing, the sea had become a dragon who kept rearing its head and slamming itself against the cliff in a vain attempt to make it crumble and fall under its mighty power. I knew it would succeed eventually but no here and not now.
I walked along the edge of the cliff for awhile until our house came into view. Below the water was calm and so unlike that maddened demon it had been before. As I look out at the beach, memories of my honeymoon here with Kenshin come back. I can almost see the memories reoccurring. I become like and outsider looking in on what happened on that beach almost 6 years ago. I am wrapped in a elf created dream full of surreal beauty. I continue to allow memories to cloud my mind while I sit atop the cliff and eat my lunch that I packed.
I look at the sun and see how low in the sky it was. I knew that if I didn't hurry back that Kenshin would start to worry. I hurried down the narrow path as fast as I could. I slipped at least a dozen or so times. I looked like a wreak when I got down. My kimono was defiantly not suited for that hiking trip. I think I learned my lesson that I should wear my training clothes for these types of trips.
The sun had set by the time I reached the house. As I predicted, Kenshin was in complete panic mode. (some things never change) When I walked in and he saw me, he ran to me and hugged me close. His speed stilled hasn't slowed even after all these years. I felt really guilty. He must have thought I fallen off the cliff pr something. I was reminded of how lucky I was to have someone love me that much.
I assured him that I was fine and that all that happened was that I slipped on the way down and ripped my kimono. I saw some of the worry leave his face but a lot was still etched on it. As I reassured him again that I was fine Kenji came up to my and told me that he and Kenshin had a surprise for me. I looked over at Kenshin and saw a smile light up his face as he remembered whatever our son was talking about.
Kenji made me close me eyes as they led me into the bedroom. When I opened my eyes, I saw a kimono laying on the futon. It had an aqua colored background with a pattern of yellow and white flowers lined with silver on it. Laying next to it was a white obi was a silver diamond design and a white ribbon. Everything was made out of silk. Apparently, Kenshin and Kenji for their father son bonding time had decided to surprise me with an early birthday gift since it was a few day away.
I made them leave the room so I could put it on and model it for them. I put on a yellow under robe under the kimono. I tied the obi in the traditional style I put on the diamond necklace on the white ribbon to complete the outfit. Everything went together so well.
I walked out and Kenji clapped his hands together with the excitement of a child his age. Both Kenshin and Kenji agreed that they had made the right choice. I was glad to have two such special guys in my life.
It's late now. I helped Kenshin put Kenji to bed. He was so exhausted that he fell right asleep. The sound of crickets chirping is echoing through the house. Kenshin has long since fallen asleep. He sleeps so peacefully these day. It so different from how he used to. Things have changed so much. We both have changed so much. I hope life stays as it is now forever more. I think it's time for me to join Kenshin in slumber.
