Coming home

Rudy had been gone for ages, at least it felt like ages.  The weather was warming up as proof of time passing.  Finally, he saw the plains and after a little more time in the distance, he could see the castle where his family would surely be.  He could tell mom about the leaves to help mom out and that would make a difference right?  It would be worth something?  Rudy was tired but with the castle in sight his legs assured him they could go further before resting.  The boy let out a howl for Tamsyn.  He was back.

Rudy would know soon enough.  He would see mom and be able to get a lot of questions answered.  The notion of getting a lecture for running off was there but at this point, he didn’t care.   If the information he’d gathered helped them the rest of it would work itself out.  Really, getting a lecture didn’t even sound that bad.  Maybe for now on, he’d be sure to enjoy every moment with the mom he would continue to have.  Maybe this was a reminder to make each moment count and not taken for granted.

Exploring new areas could be fun in the right situation but right now he was so glad to be home.  Hopefully, he still had two moms waiting for him.
