Rene had been working overseas for the past three years, a couple of months more, he would be able to come back to his home land.
“I’ll be there when you graduate, Kit,” said Rene on the phone.
Kit heard his father hushed a child’s voice in the background, but disregarded the thought from his mind and said, “That would be great, dad. Mom and I can’t wait to see you again.”
“Take care of your mom until I get there, bye,” Rene replied then hung up.
“Renaldo, be sure to leave us money when you go home and you’d better come back,” a woman snapped.
Rene looked at the young woman holding his child then retorted, “I’ll come back for my son!”
The toddler simply looked at him, perplexed by the look in his father’s face, but smiled back.

I’m amazed at how much can be said with so few words. Little snippets of events and yet enough to stir the mind to wonder and want to know more.
