Poor Rosemary - its hard to have to be the strong one. Now that Ferdi is improving she'll have to grieve. Mother, uncle, and the entire life shes known gone in a night, plus her father and brother are forever scarred in ways she can't begin to understand.

I adored his chapter even if it did mention fruitcakes; the best use I've ever found for one has been a doorstop. |
