'In A Car'

They were driving around that night more or less drifting, like two lost souls in the night. I don't remember who of the two started to tell me that they received a telegram earlier in the day, telling them that their only child, a son, was killed in action in Viet Nam.

I was speechless.

I felt so sorry for them - And I still do to this day.

I doubt if they are still living ... But if their souls are drifting ...

I'd sure like them to know that I have never forgotten the night when I I sat in the back seat of their car and listened to their story.
