*Chapter6*

It had been two weeks sence Edna was told she had cancer and sence then she has spent

the time in her room looking through old pictures of the girls and waiting to die.

Bruce walks into their bedroom hopeing that maybe he could get her out of the house if

not the bedroom at least."Edna would you like to go somewhere to eat?"he asked as he

sits down on their bed."No thanks im fine,I'll just have some soup."said Edna as she turns

the page in a photo album."Come on you haven't left the house in weeks,You need to get

out and live your life."said Bruce."I am living my life while hopping that I'll die soon,What

do I have left to live for,My girls were my life,My everything,Now they hate eachother."

said Edna as she looks at a picture of Jo and Blair when they frist met."Do you have the

envelope and Card that Natalie sent you?"asked Bruce."Yes its in my top drawer."said

Edna."Thanks,Oh do you have the book too?"asked Bruce."Same place."said Edna.Bruce

opens the drawer and takes out the book and card with the envelope then leaves.

Bruce walks over to the desk and sits down.He looks at the envelope and see's a Brooklyn

Georgia seal on it.Bruce then opens up the book to the about Arthur section and reads it.Natalie Green West.Well I think I just found out how to cheer up Edna.I know That Natalie's Married to a Sam West and lives in Brooklyn Georgia now all I have to do is get her phone number.I guess Edna never read the about Arthur section.Thought Bruce as he picks up the phone.

"Yes get me Brooklyn Georgia please Thank-you.Hello do you have a listing for a Sam West?Yes could I have the phone number.Yes thank-you."said Bruce as he hangs up the

phone.Well Lets see if shes home.Thought Bruce as he picks up the phone and dials the

number.

"Natalie West?"asked Bruce."Yes this is she.Can I help you?"asked Natalie from the other

end of the phone."This is Bruce Gaines Edna's husban."said Bruce."How did you get my

number?"asked Natalie."I have ways,Well I wanted you to come visit us for the summer."

said Bruce."This is not really a good time."said Natalie as she thinks about Tabitha.

"Well how about in a week or so.Please Its Edna,She has cancer and only a year to live

if she get treatment and she wont,Please maybe you and the others can talk some sence

into her."said Bruce."Others?You dont mean Jo,Blair and Tootie?If their going im not."said Natalie."I dont know if their comming yet I was lucky I got a hold of you.Please
