Dear Virginia and Let's Go, Kid

If after homecoming you come home, it has to be the sweetest coming home there is.
Almost as if you wake up and say, "Wait. Where were we?"

(Just sitting at a table.)

I whisper, "I miss you."

He apologizes before saying all I needed to hear before starting the day.



There. Right up there would've been perfect.
Surely nobody has time for anything more.


Instead I push with no apologies necessary and thank you, you gave me what I needed.



Today I am grateful for hiking gear and a way to seal my tent.
Good shoes and a promise of a drop in temps.
