Missing Them


While walking alone along our usual path I came upon a discarded wooden door set askew against a tree.  Without second thought I opened the door to an expanse of grassy field.

There they ran chasing butterflies, leaping and playing on the soft blanket that nature had intended.  I called to them.  They approached, happy tails wagging excitedly behind them.  He must have noticed the tear in my eye.

He said, “It’s okay, Dad.  We love you and miss you, too.”
