The green and red print of our family’s southwestern style couch streaks boldly against the deep blues of the opposing sitting chairs, calling me to it.

My eyes flutter lightly open to see my Father dressed in smart brown slacks and a deep earthy t-shirt, his graying hair and beard neatly comber into order.

Soon he is parading out the door with ever-fading whispers of ‘I love you kid,’ and ‘be good.’
