“My father and I once spent an entire afternoon on our knees removing the weeds from the garden so the strawberries and tomatoes and lettuce and corn could/would survive and during the four or five hours that it took us to do this, we did not say a single word; and to this day it has become one of the best conversation I have ever had.”

A nice moral at the end. Sometimes comfortable silence is the thing you need the most. I also liked how this was all one sentence. In one of my writing classes we had to write an entire story that was one sentence, and it couldn’t be a run-on, it was hard but extremely artful.
