I dismissed the importance of the ornament. Yet, I pulled away from Todd when he stood up and attempted to embrace me. I was short with him and sent h...m back to the family room to his football game. I went back to hanging ornaments on the tree and returned to my thoughts. Suddenly, I found myself looking at some kind of fork in a road. There were three paths. The one pointing to the left read: Security. The one pointing to the right read: Struggle. The middle one looked as if it zigzagged. Sarah was so helpless back in those dark days. My mom was like a savior. Sarah spent almost a month in bed just grieving. My mom stayed right by her side.Yeah, Sarah took my mom and dad’s deaths real hard. It was unsettling, it made me mad actually, at the viewings and the funeral Sarah spent more time being near Rath than me. I guess that was understandable; I wasn’t the best company, and I think Sarah and Rath were trying to get their stories straight. There wasn’t any intimacy, but they. It’ll take us about half an hour. If you want, you can either wait here with us, or we can meet you at the other home in about an hour.”“I’ll wait here with the movers,” Leonard said. “Then, when they’re done, I’ll swing by our place and pick up Beverly, bring her out to your house. That’ll give you some time to be there with your family.” He looked at all of us when he said that, the expression on his face showing that he accepted it. “I’ll also have someone deliver food out there. I bet you. Well I could leave the girls with some class work, are any of them in the guides?" I asked, at Kris's nod I said, "Well they could start teaching the other about knots and how to tie them." I could see Kris's face redden as she thought about the way knots could be used, I just nodded, and she smiled,"I might be tempted to stay and watch over that class myself." She said before leaving giving me a smile as she left.The girls started talking to each other as they absorbed the news, I allowed them.
