…soaking in the afternoon light.
The ebb and flow...
He waved goodbye again this morning as he disappeared into a sea of kids.
I stood watching from the doorway, waiting to see if he would resurface.
And then I’d see him again with his arm raised in the air before being swallowed up again,
Popping up momentarily during the ebb and flow,
Me smiling and waving back.
Maybe 10 times.
My heart swelling.
Til I lost sight of him.
My eyes tearing.
That feeling...
Us waiting outside for the school door to open. Him leaning into me. Me fake karate chopping him all over. The door opening and kids swarming in. Him turning first to give me a BIG hug. Him walking in and turning around not once, not twice but 3 times to wave goodbye.
What the light says...
Pull up a chair.
Sit.
Stay awhile.
Warm your bones.
Slow your roll.
Let your troubles go.
Breathe.
