"Let Me In"

The date: Last Wednesday January 21st.
The time: 5:30 a.m.
The scene: I'm awake, but barely. I'm getting read to get in the shower. The bathroom door is closed and the light is on. No other lights are on in the house. The shower is running and the exhaust fan too, so it's a little noisy.

From behind the door I hear a faint voice. A little boy voice. "Let me in. Let me in. Let me in."

I opened the door to find him laying on the floor with his mouth pushed under the crack in the door. "Let me in, Dada."

I put him into bed with his Mama and he went back to sleep.
