Time Stands Still

Time Stands Still by Shaun Reagan (a Short Story Contest entry) 

Loneliness isn't simply about being alone -- some people are happy on their own. And it’s not how many people you know or how often you see them, or a bad day when you don't feel connected.

Sometimes I wonder if I doing the very best as I can as a parent. I know there is a love for my two boys that go beyond words, beyond any rational thoughts, beyond anything I”ll ever accomplish from here on out. I look at them in amazement. I feel so much joy when they smile. It’s one of the greatest things on earth. Love for your children.
