“No; I …” He studied me for a moment; then said; “Im going to visit David。”

“Uncle David?”

He walked toward his truck; saying; “Thats right。 I …I should be back around noon。”

“But Dad; why today? Its Sunday。”

“I know; sweetheart; but its a special Sunday。”

He just looked at me; his hand on the key in the ignition。

“I … Im not ruining your day with him or anything; am I?”
