Disappointment Reigns

He looks out the window, a boy of only three years. His eyes look hopeful and are full of excitement. He can barely contain his happiness. His legs quiver as he tries to hold still. He tries not to blink so he doesn't miss him. Finally, after what seemed like hours the big old Ford pick up turns into the driveway. The boy squeals in delight. He runs over to the front door and opens it for his daddy. His father walks in gives him a big hug, tells the boy he loves him and goes off to his garage to unwind from work. The boy knew his father wouldn't emerge from the room until long after his bedtime. He couldn't hold back the tears but turned away so his mother wouldn't see. But she knew that the little boys heart was breaking. Just as it did everyday about his time.
