Background - I stared out the window into the dark and listened to the rain pelting the window. I’m thinking of my Mom and begin to cry, missing her so profoundly, my heart aching with the frustration and stark reality that she is gone. She loved the rain and I should be sitting on the phone with her sharing this moment.
S.C.O.U.T. - In that split second I hear the “text received” ding dong coming from my cell phone in the kitchen. It was my brother John texting me to see how I was doing. He said he was just thinking about me and wanted to say “I love you”. I find this timing strange because we haven’t talked weeks. Maybe my mom isn’t as far away as I think she is.
My goofy dog Scout lays his head in my lap and we sit for a while and just listen to the rain.
