Her grandfather had been welding previously that day. “Breakfast is ready!” Yelled her grandma, Marie. “Come and get it before it gets cold!” Her grandpa, John, nor Sammy thought

    David told everyone who asked, lies about what had happened, because at first he still hoped to see the good in mother, and that it would all change.
