Dribbles and Drabbles -


COMFORT

  

Sue was happy to have Jeff home.

She never slept well when he was away, but at last the days of night shifts and hospital stays were over.

Whispering, sweet dreams love, she patted the urn nestling in the pillow next to her own before falling into a deep sleep.

FATHER AND SON

 

Liam and his dad, Alan, shared the same birthday which they celebrated together.

This year was special; Liam turning eighteen, Alan fifty.

‘We must do something memorable this year son. Any ideas?’

Liam, wanted to go to Legoland and rekindle the memory of his tenth birthday. The three of them had gone. By his eleventh birthday his mother had died. Thinking that might upset Alan, he said, ‘We’ve always said we’d go skiing. What do you think?’

Alan too yearned to revisit Legoland, for the same reason, but thinking it would upset Liam replied, ‘Great idea. I’ll get the brochures.’

NORMAL

We are all normal

Because we’re all different

That makes us normal
