It was Tuesday 4th July 2023 sharon had spent the morning in bed , the thoughts spinning around her head of what today should of been could of been. How she would of celebrated the day with her boys.

with keanu becoming concerned he phoned up his last resort one of the only people Sharon let see her pain , her mums bestfriend Kathy Beale.

As Kathy entered the house she went straight upstairs into the bedroom where she opened the door too see sharon lay still in her pyjamas (nice pyjamas she must admit) hair undone with no makeup on she hated seeing Sharon like this it wasn't like her at all she was never a quitter or the type to stay in bed no matter how she was feeling.

"shal sweetheart?" Kathy whispered trying to not startle her

"come in kath" she answered the pain evident in her voice as she was staring at her phone a picture of Sharon and Denny on it , from the last holiday the shared Portugal 2019 sharon remembered finding him so irritating in her probably not helped by the fact she was pregnant but if she could go back and tell herself this would be their last she'd make sure she enjoyed it more and wasn't so snappy with him.

"I was thinking do you want to go out for a drink? Try and take your mind of it a g of course Angie's favorite we can raise a glass too them both,her and Denny." She waited for an answer yet wasn't shocked when she didn't get one,"she'll be looking after him you know Sharon , they both will" meaning Dennis Dennys dad not den she wouldn't trust him too look after her pet dog the amount of times he lost poor roly back in the day.

"this is emotional manipulation you know kath" she chuckled the first little bit of a laugh she'd let out that day.

"is it working?"

"..."

"well come on then get up and in the shower and dressed Keanus making you a bite too eat, then we'll get going yeah"

"yeah thankyou Kathy" Sharon said as she stood.

"oh come here sweetheart" Kathy said as she embraced the young woman a girl she's watched grow up and was as good as a daughter too her at this point despite Sharon agreeing she could still see the pain in her eyes. "You'll go and make your boy proud yeah make them all proud , every single one of them loved you in their own way and I'll make sure you remember that for aslong as I live" Kathy smiled.
