My mom came to me that morning at 9:00Am and said, “Amber!!!” My mom called. “Yes mommy” I answered. “ I have bad news it’s about your father” She announced. I just stood there waiting for her to tell me the news about him but she just looked at me and started to cry. “Is everything ok mommy” I asked.

We talk about the good, the bad, and the mysterious. And after that we head to bed, barely speaking of him again, for the thought of these stories bring to many painful
