I took the final swig of beer and tossed the empty into the burn barrel that was set up in our back yard, next to the grave.
“Incoming!”
My wife’s yell had me sitting up from Radar’s final resting place in my back yard.
Just as I did, Radar’s great great-grand dog, Sonar, hit me like a missile.
I was thrown backward on a laugh, and I wrapped my arms around the teenager-almost adult and let him smother me with kisses.
Just like his dad always did when he was in a similar situation.
“Your daughter is here with her babies,” Viddy said softly.
I opened my eyes to smile at her. “I know. Sonar wouldn’t be here otherwise.”
“You almost done?” she asked, her eyes filling with sadness as she looked at Radar’s face that was engraved on the headstone we’d gotten him.
In answer, I reached up and tugged her toward me, loving that she willingly came.
Sonar smothered her with kisses, too.
I was laughing hard. That had to be the reason that I hadn’t expected the surprise ambush.
“Grandpa! We’ve missed you so much!”
That’s when my grandbabies were on top of me, hugging and kissing me and smothering me with their love.
Today was the anniversary of Radar’s death, and my family had snuck out of quarantine because they knew I’d need them.
Son of a bitch, I was going to cry.

“Grrr,” I growled with frustration when he again didn’t answer his phone. “Seriously, I’m starting to freak out. Your phone’s going straight to voicemail. The little tracker says you’re at a gas station where you’ve been for the last two hours, and you’re not answering your phone!”
I thought the last part bore repeating.
“Call me back.” I sniffled, hands shaking.
Only, he didn’t call me back.
I placed my phone back in my pocket, redonned my mask, gloves, and gown, and went back to work.
But I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t think about anything but my husband.
“Everything okay?”
I looked over to see Tommy looking over at me with worry on his face, too.
But not because of Tunnel, I was sure, but the look on my face.
