Lisa glanced up from peering over the side of the ferry where she was watching fish jump as the boat neared their swimming spot to see her mom off to the side, alone. Leaving her brother to marvel at the water, she approached, a soft smile on her face. She turned her eyes back to the horizon and leaned next to Maria, sighing. “I know. It’s not the same without him.” There was no need to clarify who the him was. Frank being gone, while constant, still left a hole in their family. His presence felt everywhere. Constant reminders of him where around every corner. The empty chair at dinner, the unused side of the bed. For a long time, Lisa had only cared about how it made her feel. As she grew up, she understood that her mom was holding them all together. “But don’t worry, Momma. He’ll be home.” Six weeks. We can make it six more weeks.
