The Funeral

It was hard for Jenny to say goodbye to L.D. Harder still when she had his son growing inside her. She stood by his gravestone, which she visited every Tuesday, the day he'd died. She told him how the pregnancy was going. She told him that she was living with Winston and Faith, and that they were taking care of her. She told him that Winston was loving them both, and that he was man enough for it. She told him they were building a home from the money they left her. And she told him she missed him. And then they walked back to Winston's simple home, both of them tight against him as he held an umbrella against the driving rain.
