Orange Happy
I
t was hot out. I and my teens stood
outside in the backyard. Once in a while, one of them shoot hoops,
taking turns with the basketball. We talked in between. It was a
lay-back but happy time.
Lay-back time in the backyard |
Last year in summer, they took turns
running away from home from June through May last month. . . 11
months later, they are back. They said they are “done” running
away this time. It had been a long and trying eleven-months—a
parent's nightmare when their teens leave home for days or months
without contact. Before, I could only dream about this moment. But
this weekend, it is a reality. I like my teenage boy's orange short.
Funny, he was wearing the same shorts last week when I also took
pictures.
Orange is a “hot” and happy color.
