Unexpected Kindness
Lucinda sat silently in the crowded gate area, a son on each side. They were encapsulated by grief. Lucinda felt guilty not staying with her husband, but they had to get back to work and he had to deal with the estate of his father. It is just more expedient to take care of some things in person. His sisters were of no help, they were too grief stricken, as if he had no feelings. Part of Lucinda had expected this, the man was well into his eighties, not quite a shock. The sisters were behaving as if he was struck down in his prime. Her own mother had been only sixty-seven when she died, that was a shock. What she would have given for just five more years with her, let alone seventeen more years. Those were all inside thoughts.
