That sound penetrates my conscious at the most random times and it is always accompanied with the LONGING to hear the announcer proclaim "This is a test. This is only a test."
Oh, that would mean I might divert my eyes from the screen to SEE Tyra smiling up at me (she sat in my lap when we watched TV) or perhaps I might turn down the volume and HEAR her sweet giggle.
I excelled at tests in school. So much so that teachers would often comment at what potential I had if only I applied myself daily. I think a few were miffed at my ability to pass their course by acing exams and ignoring the daily tasks.
Well, I'm not sure what grade I'll receive on this test but I'm fairly confident I have become a better student. It can only be through applying myself daily that I have been gifted to FEEL Tyra in all that I do. Some days this gets me through. Other days I am still left missing her beyond words longing to TOUCH her and waiting for the BEEEEEEP to stop. Today happens to be one of those days. Oh, how I miss my sweet girl.
