Today’s Snippet
It tore Logan apart, the ache to see his son in so much pain, but still remembering his manners.
Raking a hand through his hair, Harrison knelt in front of him, his voice equally shaky. “Thanks, buddy. Your grandpa made me promise to tell you how much he loved you. He wants you not to be sad for too long, because he thinks life is too short to be sad. And even though you can’t see him, he’ll always be around.”
Nick threw his arms around Harrison and cried uncontrollably, taking a long moment to respond. “I promise.”
Harrison picked him up. “Let’s head inside.”
Logan took Kristen’s hand, and as they walked past Graham, she took her uncle’s hand — and linked together they walked into the house.
An eerie feeling overcame Logan once he was inside. Something within him expected his father to appear from the bedroom, or sit in the lounge room, or even offer him a coffee from the kitchen.
But it was quiet. There was only the noise of Harrison and Nick in front of him, and Kristen and Graham next to him.
Blinking a couple of times to hold back the tears, he squeezed Kristen’s hand a little for comfort.

Sometimes one has to break rules in order to find happiness…

It doesn’t take Addison Ryker long to fall in love with Alinta Bay, the small town she’s moved to for her new teaching position at the local primary school.

Reminds me of when my father died, two years ago. The kids took it really hard. Of course the adults did too, but it’s somehow harder to bear the grief of children. Very moving snippet, Iris.
So very sorry to hear about your father. Losing someone close is always difficult. Thanks for stopping by.
Tough to be the rock when you have so much going on inside. I had to be the one of the rocks last year when we lost my sister. My niece and nephew were older, but we all shared the communal loss. It was just like that, expecting her to come around the corner and join us in the celebration of her life.
So sorry to hear about your sister. It couldn’t have been easy – for everyone!
I remember very well forgetting my mother had died and I’d be doing something and think, “I need to call and tell Mom this” and realize I couldn’t. I still think sometimes I need to tell my Dad something and then just stop. Grief sneaks up on you all the time. Always sorry when that happens to children. Excellent snippet.
I do that, too. Quite often. Especially went I went to Germany a few weeks back!
