Parental Love


She walked along the side of the road not paying attention to the passing vehicles.  Occasionally she scuffed the gravel sending small rocks tumbling into the grass.

“Its not fair.”  She muttered, tears welling up in her eyes.

Two days ago her father was hauled away in an ambulance.  It was his heart she was told.  Everything that could be done was done, but it wasn’t enough.

Now she was on her own at sixteen.  Or was she?  She felt a presence and looked up.  Standing beside her was her parents.  They embraced her.  She would never really be alone.
