Chapter Eleven

Matt and Dan cleared away the dishes and loaded the dishwasher as Jett invited Linda Sue into the living room.

“You know, I’d love to meet your mom and dad sometime. Maybe we can get together soon,” Jett said as he offered Linda Sue a seat on the couch.

“I think they would like that a lot. Dad was a couple of years behind you at SKU. He remembers watching you play football,” she said.

“I’ll have to remember to apologize to him,” Jett said.

“And he and mom both had a class with...Matt’s mom,” Linda Sue said.

“Then we will have something pleasant to talk about after all – other than you, I mean,” he said.

She smiled.

“Thank you. You’re so sweet. I can see where Matt and Dan get it,” she said.

“They get that from their mom, believe me. I wish you could’ve known her. But I like to think that maybe she’s watching over us and she’s well aware of the things that are taking place,” Jett said.

“That’s a beautiful thought,” Linda Sue said.

“And I think she’s smiling,” Matt said as he walked into the living room and sat next to Linda Sue.

Jett’s lips curled slightly, just enough to reveal the faint outlines of his dimples.

“I think so too,” he continued, “You know I gave Dan and Maggie some advice last night and I want to share with you two tonight.”

Matt and Linda Sue looked at each other and back to Jett as they joined hands.

“I know you two love each other. There’s not a doubt about that in my mind. Anybody that’s ever experienced that kind of love can recognize it, that being said, this might not seem necessary but I want to say it anyway. Never take for granted what you have – ever. Don’t appreciate every day together - appreciate every second of every minute together. Never skip an opportunity to say ‘I love you.’ And son, always remember, you’ll never regret the things you do for her, no matter how small. There’s no limit on how good you can be to her. In time, you’ll both know what I mean. It’s something I can’t put into words really. It’s something you have to experience but you’re gonna find out that making each other happy is a reward you’ll never top. That’s love. I’m not saying there won’t be struggles and it’ll always be easy. But it will always be more than worth it,” Jett said.

Matt nodded silently. His dad was the voice of experience in this area. Matt and Dan knew firsthand that their dad practiced what he preached. When they started school, they couldn’t understand that all kids didn’t have two parents living in the same house with them. It took them a long time to grasp the concept of divorce.

“Your son is the most thoughtful and devoted person I’ve ever known. I couldn’t ask for more out of anyone,” Linda Sue said.

“Like I said, he takes after his mom,” Jett said.

Linda Sue smiled and let it drop.
