A Week To Remember Ch. 1

Shelly had managed to keep herself busy the last five years, too busy to come up here and visit the home that she had grown up in. But her mom’s birthday was coming up, and the ache to go home was stronger than her want to stay away. She had gotten in late last night and drank enough vodka until she went to sleep easily. Her bladder had woken her early, and as she stepped into the kitchen to start some coffee, she saw the scene out the window. When Lacey looked down at the photo, she found it impossible to look away from. The sun had just popped over the trees in the distance. A light fog was sitting on the hills of the open valley, but not enough to cover the beautiful green of the grass and trees. On a far rise stood a single tree, and just to the side of the tree, stood a horse with its head down at a lone tombstone that was just visible in the fog.

They both ended up in tears by the time the conversation was over, but they agreed that moving to the city would be easier on both of them. With Robert working more, and Shelly heading into high school the next year, they started looking at houses in town and eventually bought one and moved their lives into the city. Robert never sold their first home or the land. Shelly now owned it and had lived there before moving for her new job. “I’m sorry honey. I didn’t mean to upset you.” Lacey kissed Shelly’s head and held her close as she thought back to her home and her mother. “I’m sorry Lacey. I know what you were asking when you mentioned home, but that was what I thought of.
