GO B ACK HOME, SON BY WILLIAM L. BROWNELL Last night, son, your mother and 1 sat up till almost midnight just thinkin’ and thinkin’ over things that used to be. We get awful lonesome, at times, son, your mother and I, and holidays seem the worst of all just because 1 suppose they bring up so many recollections, so much of the past, so much of pleasure, and so much of pain. Mother got your letter this mornin’ saying it would be impossible for you to come home at Christmas lime ’cause you were so busy and your wife had so many social engagements she couldn't possibly leave the city. I'm awful sorry, son, specially on your mother’s account, that you couldn’t come home just for a day, but we know how it is, and so we don’t blame you; we’re just sorry, that’s all. It’s been five years since you were back, you know 7 , and while I suppose the time has passed quickly for you, it’s been longer than you could understand for both of us, and particularly for your mother. Last night she did what she does every year just before Christmas. She went upstairs and was gone a long time. I didn’t disturb her ’cause I knew what she was doin’. When she came down her eyes were red and I knew she'd been crying over the contents of a little box what’s full of baby clothes and playthings. You never had any children, son, so I don’t suppose you can realize just how folks feel what’s had ’em and lost ’em. I didn't mean to write you like this, my boy, and mother wouldn't like it if she knew it, but somehow we seem lonesomer than usual this year; guess it must be ’cause we’re gettin' older and can t shake things off so well. We're packin' up a few little things for you and Ella what we hoped we could place right in your hands this year, but never mind, son, we know how it is and mother and I hope you’ll have the best kind of a Christmas. Don't show this leter to Ella, son, ’cause most likely she couldn’t understand just the way we feel and sho d think 'twas foolish. From your loving ~ DADDY.
