A Place To Play
By JE Lillie
Momma died in April. The whole village came out for the funeral. She was the Pastor’s wife after all.
The whispers started that day.
“Poor man. Left a widower at such a young age and with two daughters. How’s he going to raise them?”
Daddy did just fine. Some days he would pack up our tea set and bring us to the church with him.
While he worked on his sermon we were shuffled out to the graveyard alongside the church.
He would wink at us and say, “Go see if mommy wants to play tea party.”
She always did.


Sounds like the girls turned out just fine – a nice tale.
Indeed they did.
Awww! Lovely story, it doesn’t always end up bad.
So right! And a child’s imagination can be such a healing country.
A very enjoyable read, Joseph. They had a good Daddy and learned that death is not the final chapter.
Indeed. The end is really just the signal for a whole new story to begin.
Sweet!
Lily
Thanks!

Those girls were lucky their father didn’t have a proper job. 😉
I know we ministers are so lucky to only have to work on Sundays. 😉
A lovely story Joseph, I enjoyed that.
Thanks Sandra.
This is such a lovely take on the prompt! 🙂
Thank you Ankita.
Delightful

Oh I do like this one. A bit off piste for a Pastor, but, hey, who cares; everyone’s happy.
“off piste”?
Lovely story. I like how happy the kids are.
Thank you!
Thanks so much!
A very sweet tale. Delightful. Loved it.
