"Good Old Texas Sunset"
The sunset was radiant on that fine summer evening. Not a thing could sway Killian Noble's peaceful, pleasant mood. For all 16 years of his life he'd lived with his family just outside of San Antonio, Texas, and no sky was more beautiful than the purples and oranges of the that good old Texas sunset.
He was sitting on his porch and there was no other place he would rather be. (Except maybe the dinner table, tonight his mother had made her "world famous" spaghetti.)
"Killi! Come in for dinner sweetheart!" she shouted.
"Sure thing mom!" he yelled as he ran back inside.
He came inside to find all of his family members gathered at the table. His mother, Rose, his father, Collin, and his two younger sisters, Jenna and Elenore. Jenna was 10, and Elenore was 5.
"How was that sunset, Killi? Did you get any pictures?" his father asked.
"Yes sir! But I didn't have my polaroid with me. Look." He said as he passed his phone to his dad. He loved taking polaroid pictures.
"Wow...now that's a good one. I'll need you to send me that one so I can see it every night when I leave for Iraq tomorrow." he replied.
"Ok dad." said Killian with a teary smile.
"You know, mom, this is some real good spaghetti!" Jenna yelled, changing the subject.
"Why thank you darlin'!"
After that they all talked and laughed and ate until everyone was finished. Then everyone went to bed, and mom and dad made the rounds to tell all the kids goodnight.
When they were done with Jenna and Elenore they finally got to Killian's room. It was painted gray with one blue wall that was almost entirely covered in pictures.
"Goodnight Killi," They both said, "We love you." His dad kissed his forehead, and his mom hugged him. Then they slowly went out of the room.
"Wait! Dad! Come back!" Killian shouted.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I love you." Killian whispered. A silent tear slid down his cheek, for he knew his dad was leaving at 3:00 am the next morning.
"And I love you more, buddy." his dad whispered back. "I'll see you soon okay?"
"Okay."
