Artifacts, Part 2

I run my hand along the mantel.

So many trophies.

I remember the day he won each of them.

He loved baseball.

And having his picture taken.

To smile, to laugh.

He loved a lot of things.

Even his parents.

But no more than we loved him.

I don't know how Sara is going to live without him.

Sighing, I take one last look around and begin my chore.

Then I pause...

This room embodies Charlie's happiness and spirit.

Through this room, he's still alive.

I won't let this moving day happen.

I won't let Sara live through Charlie's death again.
