An Ordinary Day - A Drabble

She picked up her beautiful baby boy and went to give him baby a bath. He loved his baths. She washed him gently with a soft washcloth, and kissed him. Then she lifted him out of the tub to dry him off. Then she dressed him for bedtime and sat on the rocking chair and held him close. And sang to him. However there was no clothes. There was no washcloth. There was no baby. Her son had died over 5 years ago by drowning in the tub while she was distracted, and she repeated this same routine every day.
