We would sit at the window every day after school. Waiting to see the sheep pass. Every day at 3:30 exactly, Jonah would gather up all the sheep in the field and walk them past the school just for us. He knew I loved them the most. I loved watching as they would push each other out of the way to be the first in the barn. I asked Jonah once if they get lonely in there without him. But he assured me they don’t. Which is good because if they were I would have to sleep in there!
