Everybody else decided to update last night/this morning (seriously, I got had like 8 updates to read this morning), so I thought I would join the crowd (even though I'm a little late).
Because explaining to your kids that you had a twin brother can't be easy. And because I love George.
"Daddy!" Roxanne shrieked, pointing at the picture.
"No, that's not Daddy," Freddy corrected. He was only 1 ½ years older than his sister, but at four, he was a big boy. "That's Uncle Fred."
"Uncle Won?"
"Uncle Fred."
"Uncle Charlie?"
"Uncle Fred."
"Daddy?"
"No, Roxie, it's Uncle Fred. Mommy said he's in Heaven, but that he still loves us."
Roxanne, clearly bored with the conversation, poked her brother and claimed "You're it!" and she immediately ran, giggling, out of the room.
The children didn't see their dad trying to hold back tears in the den as they ran past it.
I'm interested in seeing what you all think of this. I really liked the idea, but I'm not sure it turned out the way I was expecting it to. But... what did you guys think?
Once again, I would really appreciate it if you guys would answer my poll (on my profile). And thanks to those who already have!
And one last thing... there were some questions over what I said last time about only having a few more chapters written. That does NOT mean that I'm almost done with this story. I just need to come up with some more ideas. I will definitely be going to at least 50 chapters, and who knows when I will actually stop.
Thanks for reading!
