They are happy, Now and before. Mid-day. The sun is warming me. I’ve done so much already, yet there is so much more to do! Breezes blow, bringing familiar scents with them. Oh, how I love each one. Every single time. The day gets thinner as

Page 1 Setting: A single table sits in the middle of the stage. You can hear the sounds of others dining. The table is set for two. It is a formal restaurant.

Hey, dad… I heard I made you cry that night. That it broke your heart that I didn't want to be part of this family; that I always pushed you away when you wanted to be with me. I never knew you could cry, I had never seen it before. (Kneels down and sits). I miss you, dad. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wish I had gotten a different good bye.
