Stahlke Adoption

Double Entendre

When I was young, my mother would call me"sunshine" when she first saw me in the morning. I absolutely loved that nickname, and it still makes me smile. Now, when I tuck my younger children in bed at night, we always sing a song together. Over the last two-and-a-half years, I have often chosen "You are my Sunshine":

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy, when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

Unfortunately, this song so dear to me has a different meaning for my children. I only sing it now if they ask for it.
