SUMMER WITH THE SLUG RATS
Swing and a Miss
Brat and I watched a horrible movie, talking trash on
the plot and acting. He would be the
last to leave for school.
“When you leaving?” I asked.
Brat Boy said, “Thursday, but I have an online class on Wednesday.”
“OK, study hard. You’ll need to make big bucks to take care
of me in my old age.”
“Storage units by the highway have eight foot ceilings and
room for a cot and a propane stove. You’ll be comfortable there.”
I laughed. I was already missing him, and trying to be
grateful I had people in my life I loved enough to miss. Too many people did
not.
Today I’ll be grateful for loving someone enough to miss them.
