There had never been anyone else for me.It was after my wife, daughter, son and the moving van left that several friends arrived and helped me through...that very difficult time. Work gave me leave, to help me through and which allowed me to buy some furniture, as I said she had taken everything. I was heart broken to say the least. But with good friends I was able to get myself together, though I was still alone. I had no parents or siblings to fall back on, and so through my friends, I started. "No offense." None taken. I know Sherry is a selfish bitch," she said calmly. "She always has been. She probably always will be."Anna marched over, gave her mother a hug, said thank you and looked at me."We're ready to go." Be right there," I said. She walked off and I turned back to Debby. "You want to talk about this some more?" I asked.She watched Anna get into the car and close the door."No. Maybe. She's a grown woman. She wouldn't listen to me anyway. She doesn't care what I think." I do,". .. When you cry I can hug you to make you feelbetter..." She then gave the sweetest smile she could to Sarah.Sarah then pulled Larissa in for another hug and told her, "Sweetie,your hugs always make me feel better."Joan felt her eyes starting to moisten at the tenderness of the momentwatching Sarah and the small girl, Ally stood up and got into the hug aswell. It was then that Sarah looked up and saw her parents standingthere watching them. She immediately pulled back and started to wipe. They were getting everything we said, so that when the roof caved in, they would have as much information as possible to find us and get us out, if necessary.When Angela spotted one of the people we'd seen the day before, heading towards the diner, we left the area, drove back to the eatery, and walked in like the brother - sister couple we pretended to be.Just before we were seated in a booth far from the door and windows, Angela moved to sit beside me on the padded bench, instead of across as.
