Missed You Too
Josh is quietly sitting in the 3rd row of the early 2000’s minivan. It is just a few days before Christmas. His older cousin Jessika is sleeping next to him. His aunt Abbie is driving the minivan down a road that is covered in a blanket of snow and the road finally looks familiar to him. He knows he will be home soon. The drive back from Florida was growling because he had nothing to entertain himself with. All of today’s modern luxuries weren’t as easily accessible back then. So all he had to entertain himself was his thoughts. His mind keeps going back to the same thought. How his dog Fathead was doing. It had been two weeks since they have seen each other. This was the longest they have been apart since Fathead moved in. He didn’t know if Fathead would recognize him when they saw each other again. He thought that Fathead may not be as excited to see as he was. That thought made his stomach turn.

Never Stop Loving
Billy is sitting on his front porch playing with a toy truck. He moves it side to side. In the distant inside the house you hear Billy’s parents arguing. Billy being only 9 years old doesn’t understand why they are fighting. The yelling stops and Billy hears footsteps coming towards the front porch. Billy’s dad stands at the front door with only the screen door between them. Billy looks up at his dad with a look of curiosity about what is happening. He pushes the truck down to the other side of the porch and stands up. Billy’s dad face looks empty and tears are forming in his eyes.
