- “Nothing will ever be the same again,” Ally said to
- herself.
- Ally's father died last summer. It wasn't fair, Ally
- thought. Dad was young and had never been sick. Why had
- his heart suddenly stopped? Ally sank slowly into her
- father's favorite chair and looked at his picture on the
- bookcase. Ally smiled. “I miss you, Dad,” she said
- softly.
- She felt a hand smoothing her hair and looked up. “Why
- don't you come outside with me, Ally?” her mother asked.
- “The birds are nesting in the woods. By this time last
- year you'd already taken dozens of pictures.”
- But her mother must know birdwatching wouldn't be the same
- this year. How could it be? Ally wondered. Ever since she
- could remember she and Dad had been a team, searching the
- woods for the special wood warbler. “I'll be out in a
- while, I promise,” she answered.
- After her mother left, Ally reached for the photo album
- she and Dad had put together. On the cover was a photo of
U2Building Skills
- a tiny orange bird with blue-gray wings and black eyes.
- Dad cut it from a local newspaper. Ally smiled,
- remembering the excited look on Dad's face when he showed
- her the pretty bird.
- “I can't believe someone spotted this little guy way up
- here in New Jersey,” he said. “Wood warblers are
- usually found in the south, not this far north. I bet if
- we search real hard, Ally, we'll see this little guy
- together someday.”
- Ally closed her eyes. She loved thinking about the times
- she and Dad had spent searching the woods for the little
- bird. They'd never spotted the warbler, but her father had
- an amazing way of making each outing seem special. He was
- her best friend, and when they were together Ally felt
- comfortable, as she did when she had her favorite blue
- sweatshirt on.
- If only I could get that good feeling back, she thought,
- sighing.
