“Missing Love” is my contribution to the Friday Fictioneers blog club. We attempt to put 100 words to a provided photo. The stories are unique and I thank Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for hosting these events. Please read, comment, and take part. Everyone’s talent is a gift and to share it with us is a pleasure.

It’s been 35 years since I’ve seen you. Today is a special day and I wish you were here. I have attempted to find you on many occasions but to no avail, I kept on living. I have experienced many of life challenges since your departure.
I remember the day we got the call, John was sitting to the table coloring and we quickly performed what we practiced for months. John’s memory is so vague, but I remember like it was yesterday. John is getting married today wish you were here.
In tears, “others were found but where are you!”

an estranged parent and John being the child grew up not knowing? but sad indeed because the person missed the wedding.

He missed the wedding, the child growing up, the mom is sadden…..as her heart longs for the love of her life…you are welcome.
How sad that they were saved but lost their husband and father! A very mixed blessing.

Thank you. After all the years of his absence, she is not willing to give up hoping for his return.
This is so sad, touching. Nicely done.
Thank you. I REALLY enjoyed your story. It says so much to me.
Thank you. Always encouraging to hear that!
You are welcome.
a moving tale of a lost father..nicely presented
Thank you
That seemed so real – could hear her words as he was ‘writing’. a testament, immensely sad, very, very powerful. Real love there. Very strong writing.
Thank you. That is my goal to touch the heart.
A convincing voice in this – not overdone in any way. Nice one.
Thank you Sandra, your comment means a lot to me.
very sad.. they’re safe but no longer complete.. john’s getting married but they’re missing someone special… bittersweet… great story
Thank you
Realistically sad.
Thank you.
Dear YJ,
A tenderly rendered story. I can feel the mother’s hope filtered through loneliness. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Rochelle – thank you so much.
They were safe but he was not… most likely thru his actions, maybe. She still hopes, but she knows… and keeps the faith.
You are correct. His actions protected and preserved his family.
Very touching with a heartfelt tone. Well done, and thanks so much for stopping by mine.
Thank you and you are welcome.
so the key here is – who are the “others” who were found? how does this one person factor in with the others? hmmm. well done.
Many different scenarios played in my mind. I choose to leave this area to the reader’s imagination. Thank you.
nothing wrong with that.
“we quickly performed what we practiced for months.” Open to so many possibilities and complicated by “I have attempted to find you on many occasions”–interesting backstory here.
Yes. Thank you.
Such a bittersweet.. And the last line .. So touching.. The endless wait can be heart breaking and you’ve depicted the emotion really well!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment.
Very heartfelt. An incomplete family moving forward through life. That’s tough. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I’m hoping their circle is completed again some day in the future.
That would be the happy ending so many wish for but never achieve. Thank you for stopping by.
A story with just enough gaps to build a whole life into. I love when my fantasy goes haywire.
I enjoy fantasy too. Thanks for visiting!
