Fallen for Daddy's Friend
I feel selfish, self-centered, and terribly sad.
“Car accident.” My father says simply, then clears his throat like there’s a lump there. “Jack was eighteen at the time, with his whole life ahead, but it was an accident, a fatality.”
A sigh comes from between my lips, “I’m so sorry.”
“Me too.” He gives a sad smile, looking at the photograph. “He had a great sense of humor, you know? No matter how sad he was, if things were difficult, Jack would find a way to smile and make jokes about it. Life always looked too light for him... like the world had a different color for him. People were naturally drawn to him, to his way of making things simple.”
