His grey hair is untidy from sleeping. Moments ago, he got up to carry my bag for me and went into the cold open air. He thanked me for a daughters cooking and for having traveled so far to spend the holiday with him. I told him that I worried about he would feel lonely again in the empty house. I have my plans, he said, in the moments before I walked out the door. When I arrived 10 days ago, I felt it was quiet and lifeless in the house. Then my brothers and I came and filled the rooms. But, now, theyre gone, I am the last to leave. As the taxi began to move, I watched the lights go off, but my father didnt leave. Even though he couldnt see me in the dark, he stood by the window watching, beside the tree. It was a fresh tree. He buys one every year for the new year. The life is hard for my father: my mother died years ago, and now his children are far from home, our selfish choices taking us from one end of the country to the other, the life of the tree, cut for Christmas, is short; my fathers is long and strong.
