Chapter 2: Son 2
September 11, 2004
Dear mom,
It's been three years since you left us, your family. We still love you, and will never stop. Conner and I have gotten closer. You would have been proud. I'm doing well at the Ninja Academy. Sensei Wantannabe is very proud of my work. I still remember that day three years ago, when dad came and got me from the academy. He didn't tell me anything until we got Conner and went home. Dad made us both sit on the couch and then told us that you were never coming home. I also remember you telling us that a pair is stronger than one person. That came true that day. Conner and I hugged each other and cried. We were scared, we knew that even if you weren't with us in person, you were with us spiritually. Can you really blame us, the world seemed like it was going to end, though if it was, we'd be together. We all have each other when we need it, thanks to you. I hope to see you again one day and maybe we can catch up. We always miss you.
Your son,
Eric

Conner found his brother writing. He had finished his that morning. Eric had tears running down his face so Conner hugged him. Eric turned around on his desk chair and hugged Conner back. They both began to cry.
"I miss mom Conner" Eric sobbed. Conner rubbed his back. He tried to be strong, but it was hard.
"I know Eric, I do too" he said with his voice breaking. The twins sat on the floor holding each other. They cried on each others shoulders. They'd always been there for each other. No matter how far they both had to travel.
"I just want to tell you that I love you" Eric told his brother. He looked into eyes identical to his. Those eyes stared back at his.
"I love you too. You're the best brother a guy could ever have. I never want you to leave without saying goodbye" Conner cried to his brother. They stopped crying before they continued.
"That's a deal" Eric said wiping a tear away. A knock was heard from the door. Then, Tommy opened it. He saw the twins' red eyes and immediately got concerned.
"Are you two alright" he asked. They both nodded, but he knew better. He put his hands on his hips. They shrugged and laughed sheepishly. Then, they left to go to the kitchen.
"Hey guys" they both said. Trent was there.
"Trent? What are you doing here? I thought you had to work" Conner asked. Trent smiled.
"I did, Hayley let me get off of work early" he told them. They shrugged their shoulders again and sat down. Trent glanced at them quickly.
"What" the twins both asked. Trent sighed.
"I heard about your mom" he said. By this time, Tommy had rejoined the group. The McKnight's all looked down in sadness.
"It's alright. She's still with us, in here.…." Eric started indicating to his heart.
"…..and will never leave us. Even when we get……" Conner continued.
"…..old she'll still be here" Eric finished. The teens stared open mouthed at them. The twins' father chuckled.
"They do that all the time, you'll get used to it after a while" he said. Tommy also chuckled. After dinner and dessert, the twins' father excused himself and went up to his room.
