Evidenced by asking Mom for advice. Had dad not departed to his adult life earlier. As a fly on the wall I get to see this. I would have missed this. Still, I desperately want this.
Every parent misses some things.
Every child forgets some of these things. Cosigned to the ephemeral emotional ether, Participating in just some of it makes up for all. Dad returns with another son. Dad climbs a pole calling to Catherine. Demonstrates the child still in his heart Catherine beams in return, Calls the others to attention so they won't miss it.
