Prompt – “My Stone”

Such a small and seemingly harmless piece of matter contains so much meaning.  Triangular in shape, three sides of strength.  One for family, one for friends and one for ice cream.  Yes, Ice Cream!  Where you expecting something else?  For you friends and family are probably connected by something else to complete your triangle of power but for me it’s the rich and sugary treat that reminds me I’m still alive.  I look at my stone and I see red sprinkles on chocolate.  A very small scoop, probably a sample offered by the creamery.  I know deep in my freezer is always at least one carton, probably a concoction with cookies or brownies, usually lacking any resemblance of anything healthy, like strawberries or bananas.  Life is short, even shorter with cancer, and it’s the little things, like a stone in your shoe or family and friends, that remind you life is better with ice cream
