It was a difficult time for Cherry. A time of adjusting. She was trying to adjust to her grandmother’s absence; she missed Granny’s feisty sparkle.
And trying to adjust to the recent realization that she was not biologically related to her beloved father.
After some daring investigating, she and husband Gene had discovered that she and her brother had been conceived within her mother’s passionate extra-marital love relationship. Granny’s best friend had had a son that Cherry had never met. Heard about, but never met. Until recently, when she’d let him know that she knew she was his daughter.
It was a time of adjusting. A time of recurring nightmares with the same scary theme and unexpected visits by those presumed to be gone forever. Dead and gone.
A time when unexplained mysteries were solved. A time of fresh starts, when positive life changes were born. And old hurts were soothed. It was a time to re-connect with loved ones, in this dimension and others and eventually and inevitably, a time to let go of one of them.
