A WAC Of World War II by Kitty Maidan t is amazing that you can know someone for about forty years and only learn of her calling when she celebrates 95 years of age! This year when my church had the patriotic Memorial Day Service, I learned that our Dorothy Ashworth Russell was a veteran of World War II! This is her story. Military Experience: Dot Russell. “In July of 1944, I had completed high school at Young Harris Academy in Georgia. I then graduated from Webb’s Business College in Lakeland, Florida. We were living in Auburndale at the time and I had been sort of at loose ends. I often watched the picture of Uncle Sam pointing his finger and saying, “I want you!” So I told my dad I thought I might join the WACS. He didn’t like the idea at all, but I finally talked him into it.” “My brother, Bill Ashworth, who was in the Air Force, drove me to Tampa to be tested for eligibility. On July 20, 1944, I was sworn in and boarded a train bound for Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.” “For 6 weeks of basic training, we women were trained exactly as the men. We did drills, marching, and even had to learn to go into the gas chamber without a mask on, and then put it on. Basic training was hot and grueling but it was not without memorable experiences. One was that a motion picture called Keep Your Powder Dry was filmed at Fort Oglethorpe. It starred Lana Turner as an heiress who was going to lose her fortune if she didn’t do something worthwhile. So she joined the army. “My platoon and others were used for the marching scenes of the movie. When I graduated from Basic, my orders read that I would be going to Santa Maria, California. What happened next let me know that military service was for real. “We traveled to California by train, and it was filled with nothing but female troops. One car was WACS, others were filled with WAVES, Marines, and the Coast Guard SPARS. One night, at 3 A.M., our train was sabotaged when our cars hit an oil tank truck that had been placed across the tracks. I do not know the details but there were injuries. I was injured by a suitcase that fell on my face. I received serious damage to my teeth. The Red Cross came with coffee and doughnuts and help. When we arrived at Santa Maria, I was hospitalized for 4 days—far from home and 20 years old with missing teeth, but this was all part of the commitment I made. “While in the hospital, President Franklin Roosevelt died and Harry Truman became our new boss. The base in Santa Maria (which later became the site for Michael Jackson’s circus) was mainly a training base for pilots who were learning to fly the P-38.

Dorothy Ashworth Russell tribute.

I remember seeing hangars filled to capacity with Link Trainers simulating what the pilot would face on the actual plane. We females were there to take the place of the service men who were needed to go overseas. “Sometimes when we were marching, the men who we eventually replaced would taunt us by singing: “The WACS and WAVES are at it again. They’re winning the war with a fountain pen.” I always felt they knew we had to be there. My job was to clock officer’s flight time and classify people for where they should serve. I was a supply clerk, mail clerk, and had many other jobs. I even got to be an escort for Bing Crosby and Bob Hope for a celebrity golf match. “When I entered the service, I said I would be there until it was over. I well remember the day in May, 74 years ago, when victory was declared in Europe. Oh what a wonderful day! “The time that I spent in the military was a most meaningful time for me. When I separated from the military December 11, 1945 at Camp Beale California, I left with a deep abiding love for my country, and a respect for the flag. I will always treasure the experience and have gratitude for all veterans and the men and women on active duty.” This is part of Dot’s story. Recently she was included in a trip to Washington to view the World War II Memorial honoring the 16 million who served in the armed forces of the U.S., the more than 400,000 who died—and all who supported the war.

Succession Planning nexpected life events can happen at any age. Business owners, like others, don’t always die when they are elderly or after retirement. A heart attack, a car accident, or a cancer diagnosis can bring disaster to your business and family. Without sufficient planning, your family and your business may suffer catastrophic consequences. Take John for instance. He had purchased a one-half interest in a company. The owners had intended to address the “what ifs” but just days after their last conversation, the fit 42-year old coowner “who really understood the business” died of a massive heart attack. He left two children under the age of 5. Succession planning should begin on day one of ownership, if not before. Yet sixty percent of all business owners do not have a succession plan in place. A succession plan makes it clear who will take over the business and reduces any potential disputes between the owners or involved parties. If a purchase is involved, the plan will clearly outline the sales price and purchase terms. A well-drafted plan benefits the departing owner, their family, the business, and the successor. A smooth transition of ownership starts with strategic decisions and the

organization of company financials. Here are a few steps necessary to develop an exit strategy: 1. Gather financial documents like valuation data, inventory, tax returns, and up to date financial records. 2. Determine the value of the business. 3. Establish buy and sell agreements. These agreements formalize information like the company’s sales price, value of the owners share, and formalize the transfer of an interest in the business in the event an owner passes away, retires, or becomes disabled. Like a will, it reduces the risk of conflicts that could arise between family members or partners. Permanent or term life insurance can offset costs in the event of retirement or disability. 4. Consider the purchase of key employee life insurance policies. Contact Attorney Linda Carley, Esquire, Fla. Bar No. 513172, at 386. 281. 3340. Carley Law, LLC, 435 S.

Canoe To Kayak This article is by George and Peggy’s son, George Goldtrap III. hen I moved to Florida a year ago, I owned a 17 foot, Old Town canoe. I loved my canoe but now that I RV full time it's just not practical to haul it around. So, I've replaced my canoe with a kayak! It's a bright yellow, Ocean Kayak Scrambler. I look like an 11 foot banana bobbing on the water. I really enjoy the flexibility of being able to easily launch myself into any lake, stream, or bay and leisurely explore. I can load up onto the roof of my car without assistance or, as I do now, put my yak on a small dolly and walk to a public access boat ramp. My kayak weighs about 40 or 50 lbs.—so I don't have much trouble handling it. Of course, that would be prohibitive to some, but with just a little help it's a snap. The other day I put my yak on the dolly and walked to a neighborhood boat launch about a mile away. When I arrived the calm water presented a beautiful reflection of palms and sky. I brought my fishing pole along, too. My kayak is not really designed for fishing. However, with a little preparation and minimal tackle I can enjoy some angling while I explore the waters. If I hadn't seen the island, I would certainly have heard it! The racket of demanding young and territorial declaration can be heard from a good distance away. As I took in the scene I noticed chicks that could barely stand up squawking for attention. Older nestlings stood on the edge of the nest flapping their wings like there was no tomorrow. Soon, with their flight feathers grown and their muscles bulked up, they will soar into the blue. After I explored the canal lined with nice homes and beautiful boats I headed out onto the Tomoka River. I was heading north paralleling the Halifax. My goal was to break off about half a mile up and explore Sanchez Creek. That would take me back south toward US 1. The whole area here is adjacent to Tomoka State Park and protected wilderness. I was paddling through marsh land. The shores were lined with what appeared to be a succulent flowering plant with small yellow flowers swaying happily in the light breeze. To my right I spied a little blue crab half in, half out of the water. I watched for a bit as he fed, the current sweeping food within his reach. Ahead, on my left, were some trees that had been blown down into the water. Birds scattered as I approached for a closer look. I figured this would be a good time to cast a line and see what happened. I had already noticed that some kind of fish was hunting along the shore. I saw minnows scatter as they tried to avoid being someone's meal. I cast my spoon lure near the fallen trees and wham! Just like that a small snook took the bait! What a thrill! I had been itching to catch a snook since I came to Florida and I had recently purchased a fishing license with a snook permit. Now, I could tell you a big fish story here but—it would be a big fish story. This was a baby snook, maybe 13 inches but

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap he fought like he was 30. He came out of the water immediately trying to dislodge my lure. Vigorously shaking his head as he broke the surface. I pulled my rod back against his efforts. Luckily, my lure held fast as I brought him into the kayak. I quickly grabbed my phone from my dry box and snapped a photo. Then, I carefully held him still while I removed my lure and gently lowered him back into the water. I guess it sounds like I caught a whale of a fish the way I tell it, but it felt that exciting to me. I paddled along admiring the beauty around me when I noticed a large swirl on the surface. It was as if a diver just below

the water had kicked a flippered foot in a push to go deeper and caused the water to well up. I knew from experience what that had to be. A manatee must have been right below me! I watched as swirl after swirl appeared on the surface. I never layed eyes on the gentle beast, but I knew its massive body was gliding through the depths navigating the river with me. Even as I thought how great a day it had been so far I spotted another wonderful animal just off to my starboard side. Actually, I spotted several animals. I saw a school of cownose rays. They appeared to be flying in the water as they flapped in slow motion. There were 7 to 8 individuals 'flying' silently by me. Their name comes from the distinctive cow-like appearance of their head. These rays were about 18 inches from wingtip to wingtip. I was so glad to have witnessed these amazing creatures. Well, my day had been full and the heat was wearing me down. Plus, one's rear end can only take so much while sitting in a kayak. I was parallel with US 1 at this point near the Nova Road traffic light. I found a place to pull my yak out of the water and get it up on the dolly that was tied on the back end. In just a few minutes I was walking along the highway with kayak in tow. I was determined to walk all the way back home but mind and body were not on the same page. I found a shady spot and called for backup! In a few minutes Shawni, my wife, arrived with welcome relief for my feet and a cold bottle of water. Whew! What a day!

Antiques Admiral Fitzroy Clock by Terry and Kim Kovel dmiral Robert FitzRoy (18051865) is best known to collectors for a barometer he did not invent. Historians know about his accomplishments in the British navy, politics, and predicting the weather. He joined the navy at the age of 12, was captain of the ship that carried Charles Darwin on his expeditions, was elected to Parliament in 1841, became governor of New Zealand in 1843, and later began to study meteorology and the weather. He published an important book about weather, made sure there was a barometer in every port, and made charts that predicted the weather for sailors as the first “weather forecaster,” a name he made up. He improved the design of barometers, but didn’t invent the one now named for him. This Admiral Fitzroy Clock and Barometer made in about 1900 sold at a Cowan auction for $270. *** Q: I’ve owned Imperial Candlewick glassware for almost 70 years!

deal, right? The push to celebrate father’s did not meet with the same enthusiasm– perhaps because, as some explained, “fathers haven’t the same sentimental appeal that mothers have.” On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday. The very next year, a woman from Spokane, Washington, by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd—one of six children raised by a widower—tried to start an official equivalent to Mother’s Day. She went to churches, the YMCA, shopkeepers, and government officials to find support for her idea, and she succeeded—Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on June 19, 1910. Slowly, the holiday spread. In 1916, President Wilson honored the day by using telegraph signals to unfurl a flag in Spokane when he pressed a button in Washington, D.C. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge urged state governments to observe Father’s Day. Many men, however, were not too excited about the holiday. They beleived the holidays as a commercial gimmick to sell more products—often paid for by the father himself. During the 1920s and 1930s, a movement was started to go to a single holiday—Parents’ Day. On Mother’s Day,

pro-Parents’ Day groups rallied in New York City’s Central Park—a public reminder, said Parents’ Day activist and radio performer Robert Spere, “that both parents should be loved and respected together.” The Great Depression ended this effort to combine and de-commercialize the holidays. Struggling retailers and advertisers redoubled their efforts. They promoted goods such as neckties, hats, socks, pipes, golf clubs, other sporting goods, and greeting cards. When World War II began, Father’s Day was promoted as a way to honor American troops and support the war effort. When the war came to an end, Father’s Day may not have been a federal holiday, but it was a national institution. Then in 1972, in Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making Father’s Day a federal holiday. Today, the day honoring fathers is celebrated in the United States on the third Sunday of June. Economists estimate that Americans spend more than $1 billion a year on Father’s Day gifts. In other countries–especially in Europe and Latin America–fathers are honored on St. Joseph’s Day, a traditional Catholic holiday that falls on March 19.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Rebuilding an unraveling relationship won't be easy. You can do it, if you really want to. Just remember to keep the lines of communication open. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A new friendship could develop into a close relationship. Reassure an old friend who might be feeling neglected that they are still an important part of your life. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might be feeling that you're still in over your head as you adjust to your new situation. The pressures ease giving you time to come up for air.

Corn On The Grill by JoAnn Derson

Elder Law Attorney & Mediator

• “I found a great way to reuse old, stretched-out athletic socks. Gather some together and stuff them into one sock, then put it in your car. On mornings when your windows are fogged by dew, just pull one out and wipe your windows clear. The socks will absorb the moisture, just like they do sweat. Then either toss or wash to use again.” —J.C. in Florida • Corn on the grill is delicious. To prevent the ear from being dried out by charring, wrap each ear in aluminum foil. If you want to get fancy, try adding any of the following for variety: a slather of butter and sprinkled taco seasoning (or ranch seasoning); cojita cheese and cumin; a slathering of mayonnaise and sprinkled red pepper; chipotle seasoning and lime juice. • Nothing beats a crisp pickle crunch at a barbecue. Dill pickles are predominantly vinegary and salty, while bread and butter pickles are sweet. Dill pickles clock in at five calories an ounce, but sweets will net up to 40! • “I love air-popped popcorn, but I couldn’t get my salt to stick! Adding butter seems counterproductive, so I used a couple

No additional calories, and it was just enough to give the salt something to grab onto.” —T. in Maine • “I use a lingerie bag (the zip-up kind for delicates in the clothes washer) to put small items in the top rack of the dishwasher. It works like a charm for baby bottle pieces, small toys, canning lids, and other small parts that are tough enough for the heat but might fall through the rack.” —R.W. in Louisiana

Humane Society Update Older Cats—The Effects Of Aging by Barry KuKes enior cats will often suffer the same ailments as senior people. There's no reliable scientific way to calculate the relationship between human and cat years, but it's generally agreed that the first two years of a cat's life are roughly equal to the first 25 of a human's, and after this, each additional year is around four 'cat years'. It’s estimated that cognitive decline—referred to as feline cognitive dysfunction, or FCD—affects more than 55 percent of cats aged 11 to 15 years and more than 80 percent of cats aged 16 to 20 years. Memory, ability to learn, awareness, and sight and hearing perception can all deteriorate in cats affected with FCD. This deterioration can cause disturbances in sleeping patterns, disorientation, or reduced activity. It can make cats forget previously learned habits they once knew well, such as the location of the litter box or their food bowls. It can increase their anxiety and tendency to react aggressively. Be sure to report all changes you see to your cat’s veterinarian. Don’t assume that your cat is just getting old. Cognitive Dysfunction Checklist The following behaviors may indicate cognitive dysfunction in your senior cat: Learning and Memory • Relieving outside the litter box • Sometimes seems unable to recognize familiar people and pets • Confusion and Spatial Disorientation • Gets lost in familiar locations • Stares or fixates on objects or into space • Wanders about aimlessly • Gets stuck and can’t navigate around or over obstacles Relationships and Social Behavior • Less interested in petting, interactions, greeting people, or familiar pets, etc. • Becomes overdependent and clingy • Activity—Decreased, Apathetic • Explores less and responds less • Grooms herself less • Eats less Anxiety and Increased Irritability • Seems restless or agitated • Vocalizes more • Behaves more irritably in general • Sleep-Wake Cycles and Reversed Day-Night Schedule • Sleeps restlessly • Sleeps more during the day • Vocalizes more at night Rule Out Other Causes For The Behavior If your cat shows any of the symptoms or changes listed above, your first step is to take her to the veterinarian to determine whether there is a specific medical cause for her behavior. If medical problems are ruled out, and if primary behavior problems unrelated to aging are ruled out (for example, problems that started years before your cat began aging), your cat’s behavior may be attributed to the effects of aging on the brain. Treating Cognitive Dysfunction If cognitive dysfunction is the only logical explanation for changes in your cat’s behavior, the next step is to seek therapy. Treatment mainly consists of making help-

ful changes to your cat’s environment and keeping her daily schedule consistent. There are also some medicines that may help cats with FCD. Your veterinarian may also consider an anti-anxiety medication. House Soiling Inappropriate relieving is a common symptom of FCD. In fact, it’s the most common reason that older cats are seen by behaviorists. Any number of medical problems can contribute to inappropriate relieving, including sensory decline, neuromuscular conditions that affect mobility, brain tumors, kidney dysfunction, and endocrine system disorders. Even older cats need to play and have engagement with humans. Playing with your cat with cat toys will keep her alert and active longer. Take care of your cat and remember, Adopt, Don’t Shop.

Pet Care Water Beckons by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw's Corner: Near my house is a fenced park with a pond. When no one else is in the park, I'll let my black Lab, Kerry, off of his leash to run free for a few minutes. However, he tends to run straight into the pond for a swim and won't come when I call him (he normally is very obedient). Then he's muddy and gross. What can I do to teach him to stay away from the water? —Eric S., Kissimmee, Florida Dear Eric: Let me get this straight. You have a black Labrador Retriever, you're walking him next to a body of water, and you don't want him to jump into that water? That's a really tough order for Kerry to follow. Labs love water. They adore it. Natural bodies of water are their second home. (Baths are not so well-loved, unfortunately.) When you let him off his leash next to a pond, you've given him the biggest treat of his day. So it's really hard for him when you call him back, and he probably gets very willful. There's a disconnect happening that is confusing for him: Ultimate

happiness by splashing in a pond makes his papa unhappy. He's not sure what to do. If you want a dog who's always obedient and also stays clean, then Kerry has to stay on a leash in this park. If you want a dog who's happy, give Kerry some water time. Maybe that water has to be somewhere else a little less muddy. Maybe you'll have to resign yourself to rinsing him off after time in the park. Find a middle ground where both of you are happy. Send your tips, questions, or comments to ask@pawscorner.com

s Karl Martantes stated, “When the peace treaty is signed, the war isn’t over for the veterans, or the family. It is just starting.” This quote addresses why Oglethorpe Inc., a national hospital management company based in Florida, opened its Heroes’ Mile Veteran Recovery and Transition Center in DeLand, Florida. The recovery center is dedicated to exclusively helping veterans, with programs and services developed for veterans by veterans. To launch this special program, an open house and ribbon-cutting supported by the West Volusia Regional Chamber of Commerce occurred on Friday, May 31, 2019. More than 200 attendees comprised of community members, Veterans’ services providers, celebrities, as well as state, county, and city officials were there to celebrate the Grand Opening ceremony. Festivities included tasty food, book signing by Vance Johnson, NFL Alumni, Denver Broncos, guest speakers, live band, and themed door prizes. At the podium talking about a myriad of veteran specific issues were: Congressman (Green Beret) Michael Waltz, representing the 6th Congressional District of Florida; Florida Senator Tom Wright, representing District 14; and Director of the Florida Department of Veteran Affairs (FDVA) Captain (U.S. Army) Danny Burgess. Also, in attendance were Florida Representative Elizabeth Fetterhoff, Volusia County Councilwoman Heather Post, along with representatives from the offices of Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Rick Scott. Lieutenant General (Retired, U.S. Army) Bill Lennox, former Superintendent of The U.S. Military Academy at West Point and current Oglethorpe Veteran Ambassador, plans on hiring all veteran staff members. “Heroes’ Mile is one of the first of its kind: a program for Veterans by Veterans. We know vets tend to trust each other. The all veteran staff and supportive environment provides a unique place for veterans to recover.” The mission of the Heroes’ Mile program is to provide a Recovery Through Common Ground experience. The pilot program is designed to meet veterans in their

current state, guide them through recovery, and transition them back into their communities. As a patient-centric center, Heroes’ Mile follows veterans through recovery and into a new, healthy, way of living. Heroes’ Mile not only treats addiction but also treats invisible wounds such as Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and Military Sexual Trauma (MST). The staff will go the extra mile to provide veteran clients with an extensive transitional care program personalized to ensure a smooth transition back into society. As stated by FDVA’s Cap-

Ribbon cutting at Heroes Mile. tain Burgess, “Organizations like this one are helping with some of the things they are struggling with, some of the wounds of war.” The new center, located at 2775 Big John Drive, Deland FL 32724, is on ten acres of secluded land. Offered will be a full range of inpatient and outpatient programs for veterans of all ages including seniors who struggle with mental health and substance use disorders. Services include daily group therapy, individual therapy, recreational therapy, nutritional education, introduction to the 12 Steps, spiritual development, intensive relapse prevention, marriage and family counseling, aftercare planning, and transitional living options, with full-time medical, therapy, and nursing staff. Oglethorpe, Inc. is honored to provide this first-class care for our country’s vets. Its primary goal is to help those Veterans in crisis to take back their lives and become a part of their communities again.

there a lot of people on the train?” Cora Mae asked. Marci hesitated for a few seconds before she spoke. “There were about as many as when I went to Mobil,” Marci answered with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. “Why was there no one to pick me up when I arrived, you knew what time the train arrived didn’t you?” Marci blurted out. Marci was upset from what she had overheard Frank and Cora Mae talking about earlier, the way Isaiah, Jr. had reacted when she first saw him, and that she had sat over two hours waiting on a ride to the farm at the train station. Cora Mae looked at Marci and her face started to turn red. She stood there trying to think up a good answer when Frank spoke. “It’s my fault, Leray and me were working on the back side of the farm and time just slipped away from us,” Frank said in his normal dry tone. Both Marci and Cora Mae were surprised when Frank spoke. Marci was especially shocked when he said he had been responsible for Leray being late to pick her up. It was certainly out of character for Frank to admit doing anything wrong. Cora Mae quickly changed the subject and offered to fix her a plate of food, but Marci did not feel like eating she told her. “I think I would like to just lay down now if that is alright,” Marci said as she headed for the stairs. Cora Mae did not respond to her comment. At the top of the stairs and without telling Cora Mae she decided to look into Isaiah, Jr.’s room. She stepped to the door and slowly cracked it open. Inside she could see the room was spotless, the bed was made and Isaiah, Jr.’s toys were all neatly stacked against the wall. She stood there for a few minutes just looking at the room, thinking about not seeing Isaiah, Jr. for the past month and how he had changed even in that short a period of time. Leray had placed her suitcase at the foot of the bed she noticed when she entered her room. She took the few clothes she had brought with her and placed them in the chest-of-drawers. The window was open, she looked out and could see Isaiah, Jr. and Leroy playing near the barn. She heard Cora Mae yell at them from the front porch. “Time to come inside and get ready for bed Isaiah,” she heard he say. There was something about the way Cora Mae called for Isaiah, Jr. that caught her off guard. She always referred to him as Isaiah, Jr. This was the first time Marci had heard Cora Mae not add Junior to his name. Marci watched as Leray stopped the two boys from running and sent Isaiah, Jr. toward the house. Leray and Leroy turned and headed around the barn to their house. Marci could hear Isaiah, Jr.’s feet when they hit the steps and porch with a loud bang. “Come on its time you get a bath and get ready for bed,” Cora Mae told him.

…by Byron Spires

Isaiah, Jr. was already in the tub when Maric arrived downstairs. Cora Mae had a pot of hot water and was slowly pouring it into the tub. Isaiah, Jr. was half bathing and half playing in the luke-warm water as she watched Cora Mae wash his hair. Marci stood watching, but did not offer to help. When the boy was dressed in his bed clothes. Cora Mae asked, “Would you like to tuck him in?” “Yes, I would,” Marci answered her. The fact that Cora Mae would even ask such a question infuriated Marci. Isaiah, Jr. was her son, she had been away from him for a month and wanted to spend as much time as she possible with him. Marci took Isaiah, Jr. by the hand and the two of them went upstairs. At the top of the stairs he pulled away from her and ran into his room. Shocked at his actions, Marci followed him. At the bed, Isaiah, Jr. threw the covers back and jumped in without waiting on her to help him. “My you have gotten to be such a big boy,” she said as she attempted to pull the covers up for him. He would have nothing to do with her help and pulled the covers up himself. Marci sat on the side of the bed, thinking she would sit there and watch as he fell asleep. Her son, however would have nothing to do with her attempts at making him comfortable in the bed, instead he rolled over on his side facing away from her. Feeling dejected, Marci stood and leaned over to give him a kiss on the cheek. As she drew close to his face Isaiah, Jr. did something that surprised and shocked her. He pulled the covers up over his head and let out a soft sigh. She was perplexed at what had just happened. “Why would her son do such a thing? Why would he treat her like some stranger instead of his mother?” she thought as she looked down on him covered from head to foot on the bed. She could not stop the tears as they started to flow down her cheeks as she walked slowly back to her room. At the top of the stairs she hesitated for a few seconds debating about going down stairs and confronting Frank and Cora Mae. She wanted to know what was happening with Isaiah, Jr. It seemed to her that they were trying to turn him away from her. She decided not to confront them while she was so upset and instead walked to her room. Sitting on the chair next to the bed she could see out the window as the light from the full moon cast shadows across the farm. “There is such a hole in my life without Isaiah,” she thought. “Maybe tomorrow will be a better day,” she said outload.
