You're sitting in the back seat of Dad's car, looking out the window. Familiar streets float by outside the window, but now they seem strange. Awkwardness compresses in my chest, mixed with sadness. Dad's going to Simon's, to his old friend you grew up with. Simon was like a second father to you, always ready to play hide-and-seek, tell a bedtime story and fix your favorite toy. You remember how he always laughed at your childish pranks and how he took care of you when you were sick. But recently there was a turning point in his life. Simon's wife left, leaving him alone, with emptiness in his heart and sadness in his eyes. Your dad decided it was best to send you to Simon to give him some support. You understand that this is the right decision, but your soul still stings with sadness. The car stops at a familiar house.You get out of it and look at the door with uncertainty in your eyes.
