Six Word Fridays ~ Rest

The billboard said "DINER - easy off -

easy on - Exit 10" Sounded perfect.

We were both hungry and ready 

for a road trip rest stop.

As we neared the exit my

brother said....it's the Newtown exit.

Yes, that Newton. We were silenced.

This place was familiar - I'd stopped

here before.....today there were black

ribbons hanging with the Christmas lights.

Baskets for donations. And wrist bands.

Today we remembered. And as we

remembered we shared our hearts, spoke

of our children, of our childhood.

We are glad to be together,

grateful for this special time with

our dad...holding on to the

good. Rest in peace, little ones.
