Their flight left Sunday morning. Dressed for church, looking as spry as always, Pops and Mama walked them to the door. Austin had a hard time believing that the next morning Pops would start cancer treatments. Maybe it was best if he just remembered him like this…Austin shook his head, seeing the tears in his mama’s eyes as she turned to him to say goodbye.

“You’ll call me the moment something happens, Mama. Promise.” Austin took her in his arms, worried about her having to shoulder this all alone, especially after losing one husband to cancer already.

“I promise, my sweet boy,” she said, holding his cheek in her hand. “We’ll be okay. God will give us the strength we need.”

He took her into another hug, almost envious of their faith. It was good they had that to rely on, to keep them holding strong during this battle. If only he could believe. Yet, he had trusted God once to deliver the man he looked up to, and God didn’t answer that prayer. Why would He answer it this time?

“Stop fretting, son,” Pops said as he waited his turn to say goodbye. “You take care of your little brother and focus on the task at hand. Don’t you worry about what we’re doing here. Trust that God will see us through.” He gave him a hard, gripping hug. “And thank you for allowing me to be your second dad.” He said the words quietly, only for him, but they felt so final that Austin choked back the emotion that erupted within him.

Adam tugged him away. “Come on, bro. If we’re late, we get stuck in the back next to the bathrooms.”

Austin watched Mama and Pops in the rearview mirror as they stood arm in arm on the porch of the home that had filled his life with love and rodeo. It couldn’t change…he couldn’t handle it. Pops was right. He just needed to focus…but what he found himself focusing on was not Nationals, but Charlotte.
