Love Survived
The following Sunday, Sarah and Grandpa Joe came to my house for dinner.
I set three places at the table.
Then I added one more.
A bowl of dry cereal.
And a glass of milk on the side.
Just the way Randy used to make breakfast for me every Mother’s Day.
Sarah noticed the extra place but said nothing.
Instead, she gently placed the crooked unicorn beside the bowl like a prayer.
I lost my son that week.
Nothing will ever make that fair.
But on Mother’s Day, a little girl brought me back his backpack.
And inside it, Randy left me one final truth:
Love survives.
Even after heartbreak.
Even after loss.
Even after goodbye.
