On the drive back, Mom sleeps. Dad stares at maples.
“You don’t have to be here every day.”
“I know.”
“But you are.”
That’s the plain line I needed.
At home: Math packet. Read-aloud. Erosion, continued.

Inside—crayons, photocopies, a morale chocolate.
Note: Hi. I’m out today. Please keep the small humans alive.
I pretend the tub can also pick up my mother’s chart and my father’s voice.

I roll her to the window; morning slips in like a reprimand.
The pumpkin tilts one degree left — small angles matter.
Sunday I’ll steal her for bowling Lane 12 if it’s open. Nachos on me.

My kids text in a group called House Crew.
“How is she? Should we come?” Flights a mess.
They send prayers and photos.
I send back inventory: socks, lotion, patience — the truth we can afford.

I’m the man in the vinyl chair with an ACE HARDWARE tote and a jaw that doesn’t unclench anymore.

My immigrant grandparents never became U.S. citizens, no one knew why.
Still, my grandfather was a sheriff and business owner. My grandmother helped drive out the KKK.
How many untold stories like theirs are out there?
