#SOL19: March 28th
They stare at each other, him crouched down, her on her feet. Eyes locked, wordless. Just staring. He looks her up and down, this cute little girl wearing a Stormtrooper outfit in the presence of the Rebellion. He shrugs, and his hairy head showed his confusion. Chewbacca does not like Stormtroopers, but he wants to like this little girl.
We were at Disney World, and my daughter had insisted on wearing her costume, despite the 100+ heat. She wore it during the march of the First Order, she wore it to meet all the Star Wars characters in the Launch Bay, and she wore it again to the Star Wars themed fireworks show. My girl is an Empire girl. The Stormtroopers saw her and gave her special treatment. The Wookiee, however, wasn't having it.
And now, sitting here at my kitchen table in March, thinking about what to slice about, my coffee mug transported me back to that hot summer day almost a year ago. I always buy a coffee mug when we go on a vacation, and this is why. Memories last forever, as long as we remember to remember them.
Love that she's committed to her cause....at least her costume! My cousin grew up in South Carolina,and he was the ONLY one in the whole school who dressed up in a northern uniform for Civil War days!
