Magic Tonic

By Mike Hall, November 23, 2015

Ron thought he had it made…..that his job with the San Jose startup and the home in the suburbs proved that he had arrived.

Then Chloe came along and forced him to reconsider what is really important. She was a preemie and was in the hospital for forty-five agonizing days.

He and Gloria didn’t know if she would make it or not. When she came home for good they both said prayers of thanksgiving.

Ron would often take Chloe to the beach and soon realized that this was the best of the best.

Her arms around his neck…..her laughter in his ears….and her smile shining like the sun was like a magic tonic that made everything right in his world.
