Last night, while talking to my neighbor in the almost rain, this kid came skateboarding down the sidewalk towards the playground. It was Ant. Not Ant now, but Ant at 9 or 10. It just took my breath. It was like in the movies, seeing a vision of someone who's missing, but it's not them at all.
The sight shook my train of thought and I watched him climb the playground. I could see him contemplate riding his skateboard down the slide.
Suddenly Riley got up from the grass and ran towards the playground. She circled the structure, looking for a way up, and made happy whining noises, and he talked to her from the top of the playground. She thought it was him too.
