Saturday

 Walking into the room, you spot a small table with a tiny Lego Spider man car, pillows on stools, a large puzzle box, a pineapple water bottle, a brown skin doll with corkscrew hair, Birdie slippers, shoes, empty carry out drink containers, books, a dinosaur bracelet, a rainbow swim bag, blankets, half-filled water bottles, a unicorn nightlight, books, Bible, and a desk filled with paper, a notebook… 

 

A few hours ago, the space was filled with the voices of grandparents and a child preparing for the evening ahead with families and friends. 

 

Now the space, is filled with silence except for the quite hum of the air conditioner.
