The View from the Window
Every day it feels like I fail a little more at something that should be easy.
But then she smiles and the world becomes less frightening.
If only she knew what strength she carries in a throwaway gesture.
The power to save a life.
Turning from my thoughts, I carefully place the photos back into my journal. Happy in the knowledge they are safe, nestled within the soft, cream pages. The days go by, I watch her fall in love, marry and leave our small town. Never to know the power she wielded.
In the end, I chose the gun.
