Today I grasp it and hang on a full minute. “You look great, too, Dad. Are you ready to win?”
He shrugs. “Let’s leave that to your brother. I heard he’s been practicing between his Bible classes.”
“Maybe I shouldn’t have given him those lessons all spring.” I watch the double entry doors and see my twin coming toward me.
No one would know that once upon a time he couldn’t walk. He strides toward us, but reaches me first.
“Congratulations on your tournament. By the looks of the parking lot, your favorite art charity is going to be very happy.” His smile reminds me it’s time for something I need to do.
I leave my family standing together while I hurry behind the counter, searching for my purse. When I look up, Drew has already arrived and is making small talk with them.
“For I know the plans…” Again, that still small voice whispers in my heart.
I’m glad I listened.
Perhaps I could have found a better moment, but today seems right. I work my way back to the people who mean more to me than golf or art ever could.
Drew pulls me close.
My mother’s eyes widen, waiting for the news I’d hinted at earlier.
I take a deep breath and pass around the ultrasound picture. “The doctor says it’s a boy.”
I smile at Robert. “And a girl.”
