Talk to Me
Brat Boy played well. During his junior year in high school,
he’d realized to play in college he’d have to focus on one sport. He chose volleyball
over basketball. It had been a painful decision
that paid off. He was beaming.
On the drive home, my wife kissed my earlobe. She whispered
in a sexy voice, “Talk happy to me.”
I talked about Brat Boy’s game, and what an upbeat kid he’d
always been. She talked about Blondie’s wedding plans. We wondered how long
after graduation Brat Boy and CharChar would get married.
As our parents aged, as we aged, as our children established
their own lives, we knew there would be bittersweet and outright sad times. It
made no sense not to squeeze every drop of happiness from that moment.
After she fell asleep, I kept listing things we had to be
happy about.
Today I will talk happy to someone, even it’s just to me.
