Sitting in a McDonald's playland, listening to children's 
screams and laughter. 
 
Looking out the window drizzled with rain, noticing head  
and tail lights, all the while experiencing an emptiness 
inside. 
 
Knowing also, my son's heartache at not being able to be 
with or see his baby daughter. 
 
Life goes on before us as we sit here stranded in a time- 
less place where once she was with us.
