THERE WAS NOTHING MORE FOR US TO DO

Realizing there was nothing more for us there I said “Let’s go home”.

By now it was late maybe 11 PM. We all went back to our house and crowded into our sunroom. I said, “Let’s call Melissa”. 

Then I called all seven of my living siblings and told them the sad news one by one. I said, “Andrew’s gone”, not really being able to say Andrew is dead.
