"I'm Right Here"

So, I don't really know how it happened.  Usually, it's not possible unless I am alone.  But it did.  It happened. Three other people in the house, and still...it happened.

I watched a movie, by myself, with very minimal interruption, in the quiet, in the dark, with my salt lamp glowing.

Two hours, fifteen minutes.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

I cried.

And from the darkness, there was a voice.  I knew he was there, but he was so quiet, just watching me, watching the movie.

I wiped a tear...

"It's okay mom, I'm right here..."

Extremely Loud... Incredibly Close.

Grateful.
