This is absolutely stunning.

I loved this:

Somehow she gets up high enough to knock on Tom’s second story bedroom window, just to say goodbye, which ends up being nothing more than goodnight.

Now she’s fairly sure she only did it to see if there was anyone still strong enough to tether her there.


and this, especially:

Kate likes to pretend that’s the last time she ever tried to contact him. That she let him go along with her childhood.

There’s a toy plane and a little boy somewhere in Iowa who has lost his father that begs to differ.


It's heartbreaking that she loses him, first when he kind of outgrows her and leaves her behind, and then when his wife answers the phone, and then when she loses him for good. It feels like endless pain for her.

Beautiful piece!
