A Proper Goodbye | 50 Word Story
Grandpa's eyes fluttered closed, face now still like a shrunken wax facsimile.
I touched Dad's shoulder. "He's gone. Let's go."
He smiled, lips tight with hidden grief. "I need a few moments."
I swallowed. "I understand."
I walked out into the autumn air, wishing I'd hugged him instead of speaking.
Work has been very busy but I decided to have another crack at @jayna’s awesome fifty word story challenge again. This time the prompt was “goodbye.” Goodbyes are always tough. Sometimes they are harder than others. Sometimes they lead to a lifetime of regret.
