It was about two days since the death of Danny and Jannee, Rafe, and Evelyn, were back in Tennessee. The funeral was scheduled for the next mornining.

Jannee had kept the unfinished letter to Evelyn. She was going to give it to her after the funeral.

Dinner that night was a quiet afair, each person having thoughts on one single person, Danny. There was so much grief and regret at the table Jannee thought that she would throw up. They all bid each other good-night early.

The next morning was a cool December morning. Jannee wore the dress that she had bought. Rafe had painfully dug the hole last night. Now all they had to do was put the coffin in. They all hauled the coffin to the hole wordlessly and gently placed it in.

They all just stood silently after throwing a handful of dirt over the casket.

Jannnee and Evelyn began to hear the unfamilar words of a song in thier heads, it was the same song.

" When i think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad cause i was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When i look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
IN my heart there will always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere i am, there you'll be

Well you showed me how to feel
Feel the sky was in my reach
And i always will remember all the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
IN my heart there will always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere i am, there you'll be

Cause i always saw in you my light, my strength
And i want to thank you now
For all the ways you were right there for me
You were always right there for me
For always"


Evelyn cried, she missed Danny so much. Sure she loved Rafe but what about her unborn child and Jannee. This was far to much.

God, why did Danny have to go thought Jannee through tears that she had tried to hold back but failed. I should have never let him go. She wanted to die right there but the only reason she didn't was because of her promise to Danny.

Rafe looked down at where is best friend lie, he in all reality should be there, if Danny hadn't intervened that would have been him. It should of been him.

Rafe looked around and began to burry Danny. When he was done Jannee knelt down and stuck the head stone over the grave of her beloved brother. She would never forget him or any of the horrid war scenes that still played in her head.

They soon after crying all they could went in. Rafe and Evelyn sat down on the couch starring blankly in front of them; Jannnee went to find the letter she had saved for Evelyn. As she pulled it out of her suit case, she found one with " Jannee" written across the envelope, how did it get there?

Jannee solemnly walked down the stairs to where Rafe and Evelyn were sitting. She silently handed the letter to Evelyn and went back up stairs to read her letter.

Dear Jannee, You may be wondering why this is here, i slipped it in your suit case just in case i didn't make it. I just wanted to let you know how much i love you. Even if i don't make it you will go on whether you like it or not, hear me? When we were younger Jannee, you were all I had. I felt so bad to watch dad beat you like that, sometimes i thought you would be a corrupted child but you were stronger than that. I thank you for sacrificing yourself against my will to come with me, i needed you. I have to go now, they called us in for the briefing as you already knew. Bye.

Love, Danny

Jannee silently put the letter in the thing she had been writing in, her poetry book. She knew it would always be safe there.

Evelyn read the letter with tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to think.

Rafe looked at the letter, he recognized it as the letter Danny was writing on the ship.
