In the painting, a strapping young lad was pushing a swing for a little girl, her two pigtails dancing in the air.
The girl on the swing was beaming with joy.
With the innocent strokes of a child, Serena scribbled the name "Serena" on the little girl's dress and jotted down "Hunter" in wobbly letters across the boy's shirt. Off to the side, Chase, Clark, Sean, and David were having a ball, kicking a soccer around the green field.
The weather in the painting was gloriously sunny, the sun itself had a cheerful grin, the flowers seemed to be smiling, and the faces of the people were alight with happiness.
A caption at the bottom declared: "A Happy Day."
This was a piece Serena had created back in kindergarten, a treasured keepsake not just for him, but for each "brother" who had received their own unique scene. Those days were so simply beautiful.
Tucked away with this painting in the cabinet were many other mementos.
