Utter the Thought

The latest prompt from Sammi Cox. The word “utter” with a max of 92 words.

Our family dinners had us standing on one side or the other while still fighting out who would wash the dishes to give Mom a break after her efforts, that one word that would lay dad to rest after turkey and thoughts and a raised birthday glass.

That one word that said, you wash, I’ll dry “if only he were here”

Mom thanked us for the break while wondering if he cares of our divides and trivial travails, that one word uttered in prayer that said “he might, he just might”

God?
