A Flag

I saw a flag on the car that pulled out in front of me.

It was one of those flags that you close into your window, but this one wasn’t to support a certain team. It was an American flag and as it blew in the wind, it reminded me of my grandparents’ car.

They had an American flag in their window just like that one.

That’s how we knew that they were there for dinner. That’s how we knew that they were home next door.

I forgot about that flag that was on their car.

I forgot about their car.

Until I saw that flag.
