He lit up whenever he recalled the days he spent with her as a child, helping feed the chickens she raised, and her prized Rhode Island Red Rooster. I wished I could comfort him, but I wasn’t sure how.

The next day, Randy seemed distracted. “You know, I bet those flowers were knocked down last night,” he said, out of the blue. “We should go set them up again.” I could tell he was upset. We hopped in our truck and headed back to the cemetery.
