Him (A "Larry" Short Story)

and so i thought about my baby. i thought of him, and only him when i ever felt down. i thought about him whenever thought of suicide. he was the only reason i stay in this world. the only light in this dark, dreary world. and i only stayed here for him. I watched as throughout the years, as bailey grew up and got older, and was always proud of him. when he started school. when he wanted to start playing footie. when he'd want to go to the park and practice with me. when he started middle school, and then later high school. i was proud when he got a scholarship for footie for college that paid almost everything. i was proud when he found someone to love and get married. i was when he told me they were expecting their first child. i was proud when i first met my granddaughter. i've never not been proud of my son. and i love him to the brink of everything.
