Last winter, I had a bad flu.

Daddy stayed by my bed and fed me

noodle soup and toast and tea. The foreman got mad

and said Daddy had to get a sitter and get himself back to work

or he’d be fired.

Daddy thought about it overnight. The next morning,

he quit. That afternoon, the foreman called again

and said Daddy could have off for my flu,

but he shouldn’t tell anyone on his crew.

I got better two days later.

Daddy went back to work. I went back to school.

But I still can’t eat noodle soup without picturing Daddy

wearing his construction apron, standing over our little stove,

stirring the pot with his big tan hands,

and Blake whining and pacing and licking my face,

and all of us wishing

you were here.
