The Boy was keen on spending some time with me today.
“I missed you from the moment you left,” he explained, “and I missed you the whole time you were gone.”
“We were only gone a couple of days,” I clarified. “In fact, it was only one full day that you didn’t see me because we left on Friday and came back Sunday, so you saw us those two days.”
“I know. But I missed you.”
So when it warmed up a bit in the afternoon, we decided to go adventuring. We headed to one of our favorite spots, crossing the creek twice on bridges we’d built ourselves long ago, crossing it a third time in an entirely new location.
One of the things I like most about these adventures is the conversations we have along the way. I can’t remember what we talked about today, and that’s sort of the point: they’re just carefree conversations about nothing in particular.
We have been coming to this area for years, in fact:
