My theme is 10x10.
A maximum of ten sentences, a minimum of 100 words.

  9. Yay, you used my prompt! Such a sad ending though. I especially liked the part about the dad sitting him on his lap. My dad did the same thing when we traveled country roads, and it was such a special memory. Although now I guess a parent doing this would be dragged into court for child endangerment.
