Let Go
“Sam, you have to let him go.”
She wasn't ready to hear those words. Not yet. It was too soon. She knelt down, holding him with tears making her blue eyes bright and glossy. Sam shook her head, squeezing him to her.
“Sam, honey, he's ready.”
She looked up, the tears streaking down her face. “But I’m not.” The hand on her shoulder was soothing and encouraging, no matter how much she tried to ignore it.
The sudden ringing of a bell jolted her. Her heartbeat sped up. She still wasn’t ready.
“Mommy, you’re squishing me.”
Jack chuckled and patted the little boy on the head before bending down to kiss his wife’s cheek. “C’mon Sam, he’s gonna be late.”
Taking in a shaky breath, Sam nodded reluctantly and stood, pulling Jack back up with her as his notoriously bad knees protested. She quickly swiped at her tears and smiled before bending quickly one more time and giving her little boy a kiss on the cheek. “Have a good first day at school Shawny.”
The little boy grinned, his blue eyes twinkling with a child’s innocence. “Bye Mommy! Bye Daddy! Love you!”
Jack wrapped his arms around his wife’s waist from behind as they watched their son enter the school for his first day of kindergarten. He rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered gently, “Now that wasn’t so hard, was it?”
-The End-
Not what you expected, eh? :)
