School Friends And Adventures
We chatted about Caleb and Dylan’s school friends, their faces glowing as they recounted neighborhood adventures filled with imaginary dragons and friendly aliens. For a while, the weight I’d been carrying seemed to lift, replaced by the infectious energy of their excitement. “And then Billy fell in the mud!” Caleb burst out, laughter bubbling over, and we all joined in, the porch echoing with giggles. Their stories offered a much-needed escape—a gentle reminder that even in the midst of uncertainty, innocent joy still surrounded us, waiting to be noticed.

Though nothing seemed out of place, an invisible tension lingered, woven into the fabric of our routine and laced with a thousand unanswered questions.
