Going home

Pat

We returned home with Grammy. I’m not a huge fan of funerals, but I understand why you have one. Funerals give people a chance to find closure. It doesn’t make the person feel better but lets them say goodbye.

We got home and hugged Ma. Pops was at Grandpa and Nana’s house, helping them get ready for the family to stay with our grandparents. I hope I never attend a funeral for a long time, but it will dash that hope.

I walked into the house to find Nate and Cayson on the couch, talking. I walked over and kissed Nate. He kissed me back, then whispered in my ear, /"Don’t you leave me, Betty Crocker./"

I pulled back and smiled. /"Grease, Monkey, I plan to stick around for a long time,/" I whispered, then winked.

/"Jonas is planning with Jace and Jamie to bring Karen home,/" Cayson informed me.

/"Those boys must be so heartbroken,/" I said, sitting down on the coffee table.
