"Baby sister, how long do you think Daddy hasn't been himself?" Olga asked.
"Not very long. Mom hadn't noticed that much like I have but I think it's time he shared with us what happened in the late fifties."
"I guess you're right, Baby sister. Just give Daddy some time when he's ready to share with us."
"Did he ever say anything to you about Grandma and Grandpa when you were younger?" Helga asked.
"Not that I remember. I thought he would."
"Strange. Let me see what I can do to let Big Bob finish his story."
"Don't rush Daddy," Olga warned her.
"I won't. I just want to see if I can pick his brain to tell us more."
"He will. Is there anything else you could do?" Olga asked.
"I keep trying. Want me to talk about it with God?" Helga asked.
"That would make sense, Baby sister. Are you going to do it with me or in private?"
"I think in private would be the best choice," Helga told her older sister.
"Time is running out. I have to be back in Alaska on Monday."
"Okay. I'll let you know what happens."
When she finished saying that, she left for her room. She usually did her private talk with the Lord in her bedroom, unless Arnold was there to help her when she didn't understand her conversations with God. She thought it would be a good idea to invite the football head over and see what they could do to help Bob tell his story to make it longer. Helga was already tired of Bob stopping his past. She was curious as much as Olga was, but what about Miriam? She didn't want to see what her mother thought since her mother hadn't been too much aware of what was changing in her husband's future from the past. Helga thought this should be interesting to see how Bob's story would turn out in the end.
Arnold was home, so she was able to have a short telephone conversation before there were any interruptions.
"Hi, Helga," Arnold said once he took the telephone from Ernie.
Ernie left so Arnold could have his privacy.
"Football head, I have something I'd like you to help me out with."
"What's that, Helga?"
"Olga and I were talking just now. She thinks Bob should have more time to tell us about his past since he never told Olga, Miriam and me about his parents. What do you think? Time for a chat with God?"
"I think you're right, Helga. It is time to chat with God. I don't understand why you called me."
"I just thought if I ever got confused about what the Holy Spirit is telling me, I could use you for backup."
"You have a good point, Helga. When do you want me to be at your house?"
"Anytime, football head. Whatever works for you."
"I'll be there this afternoon."
"All right, football head. Would three o'clock work?"
"Sure. I'll be at your house at three."
Helga hung up.
"Arnold is coming over this afternoon, Olga. I involved him because I might not know what to do or say."
"That's all right, Baby sister."
