Summary: He's still alive.
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.
