"Nice to see everyone" Ruthie said

"But what a crappy occasion" Lucy said

"How have you been getting through it?" Ruthie asked

"It feels like a piece of my heart is missing" Ruthie said

"Yeah I know" Lucy agreed

"Will we be ok?" Ruthie asked

"Yeah we'll be fine. Just need time" Lucy said

In the Kitchen Anna is sitting at the table and then Matt comes in

"Hey" Matt said

"Hey" Anna said

"How are you?" Matt asked

"Like a piece of my world is missing," Anna said

"That's how I feel too," Matt said

"I remember this one time is right after Riley was born we went to the park and we threw bread to the ducks and then we got kicked out because we didn't see the sign don't feed the ducks. I don't know why I was thinking that I was just thinking things at random," Anna said

"I feel like that too. I remember one time your Mom and I went on a little road trip. She was so excited but she read the wrong map and got us lost and that was the day our grandfather got remarried but we found our way back"

"Can I tell you something Uncle Matt?" Anna asked

"Sure"

"Yeah I promise I will" Anna said
