The Fall of the Father

Simon welcomed all the seasons as friends in his life. Winter was the obnoxious man’s man that everyone both envied and hated. Spring was a sister that was more of a best friend and mother rolled into one. Summer was his doppleganger - both his drinking buddy and his outdoorsman companion. Fall. . .fall was his father, strong but soft and glowing, slowly declining into a dark winter, losing his energy, but slowly.
