Weekend Repairs
The pattern of Saturday mornings was familiar. I would get my hands dirty and work on vintage automobiles. Eva would chuckle as she peered into the garage and said, “Dad’s working magic on those clunkers again.” Slowly, the extra money I earned fixing automobiles came in handy. Knowing it was a first step toward something bigger, I would put it aside. With constant curiosity, Jonas occasionally watched and inquired about tools and greasy parts. Seeing their involvement, even in the slightest ways, made me happy.

A Curious Secret
The mystery was palpable to the children. “What are you doing, Dad?” Eva inquired, eagerness and skepticism shining in her eyes. I laughed as I wiped oil off my hands and said, “You’ll find out soon enough.” James and Jonas looked at each other and speculated about my covert endeavor. Like lightning, their curiosity and mutual eagerness hummed throughout the house. It turned into an entertaining guessing game, one that I hoped would end with a revelation that made the suspenseful moments worthwhile.
