Boys and Basketballs

I am grateful this day for many things, but one in particular is the sound of a basketball bouncing outside my home.  You see Michael was always bouncing the basketball and shooting it in the net.  With his passing that sound came to an end for quite some time.  Michael has been gone for over  a year now.  The sound has finally returned.  His younger brothers have taken up the sport.  Though Michael's passing leaves a void life does go on for the living, as it should.  Yes, I am grateful to hear that sound again coming from my neighbors yard.

  1. It still startles me from time to time, but it is good to hear the familiar sound.
