♥ Jack









He had stayed at Junior’s for a while after dinner when Meg asked him to help her write a letter to Santa, then went home, had a few shots of JD, woke up with a headache at four AM Friday.

Knowing it was in the thirties outside, the heat had been off all night so cold inside, too, instead of getting up to get aspirin and a glass of water, he burrowed deeper in the covers, pulling them over his head to keep the cold out...was just drifting off again, treading the waters of sleep, visions flashing in and out of view...Jack, the mountain, the tent, snow, sheep, his horse...when he heard a low whine…he left the mountain, but didn’t open his eyes as he waited for the sound to stop...

Suddenly he felt a blast of warm air on his face as Chief stood next to the bed and barked loudly….the dog had to go out.

Cursing, he enjoyed a few more seconds of warmth then got up, pulled on shirt, socks and jeans, and wondered for the hundredth time why he’d allowed another heartbeat into his house.

Having a peaceful time with his granddaughter and than a dream of Jack a perfect evening. Yep having another in your home is letting another in your heart. Joe

thanks, Joe - I don't want him to miss out on his grandchildren's lives, it's such an important time for them to know him, get close to him, so maybe one day he can share something of his life...

I'm loving these vignettes. Slowly, Ennis's life is taking shape, with his grandkids, and the dog who has adopted him! lol! Perhaps his dreams of Jack won't be his only source of comfort anymore, as he lets himself become involved more in the life of his family.

I don't always comment, but please know that I always enjoy your writing.

"...another heartbeat into his house."
There are these gems in your vignettes, which stop me dead in my tracks with delight. Thank you

Thanks so much, I've started your latest that I found on my Friends page this morning, will wait until the work of the day is over to truly read and enjoy.

I love the way you used the 'heartbeat' in this one!
