A rare moment
We shared a rare moment of acknowledgment and gratitude, emotions swirling but unspoken. “Thank you for everything,”
I said, my eyes meeting my eldest’s. They nodded, the simple gesture conveying volumes. Yet, the thought of the letter gnawed at me.
I absentmindedly touched my pocket, feeling its weight. The room grew silent, except for the ticking clock.
Despite the warmth of the moment, I couldn’t shake the lurking memory of my wife’s departure.
