She sat down on the cool damp grass not caring that her skirt was
getting wet. Leaning over she ran her hand over the cool marble. Tracing
on the dark the letters of his name and the years. She knew there was more
a poem he had written but she trailed her hand back up to his name as if
that alone would bring him back. She started talking shortly after that
tears falling down her face. "God Danny, its so final. Back here where
it all started on that beat up old plane that would never leave the ground.
You would fight the Germans in that plane, only you never got that far
did you Danny." She stopped for a while the tears flowing harder. Catching
her breath she went on. "I'm a mother now Danny, two little boys. You would
have loved them. I have a husband as well so you don't have to worry about
that He is a good man he reminds me of you in his attitude that anything
is worth it if it is done for the cause of liberty. I guess you know by
now that I followed your orders. I came to Rafe when I needed help. I almost
didn't you know I worried it would be too much being with one brother knowing
that you were gone. I came anyway, I know I am safe here and I didn't know
how much I missed Rafe till he was on my doorstep." She moved closer to
the pillar trying as if trying to melt into the rock that stood above her
brother's head. After a few minutes she stood up shakily, looking back
at the house she turned and headed towards the old swimming hole. Tears
still falling down her face. She didn't notice Rafe watching her from the
window or leaving the souse and taking a shortcut to the swimming hole.
