CHAPTER ONE
“I just can’t believe that you’re not coming with us,” my mother said to my sister.
We were in the car on our way to the airport, but this time only three of the four of us were bringing luggage.
“I’ll be with you in spirit,” my sister answered.
“Spirit isn’t the same thing, Beth. It’s just going to—”
“Seem so strange,” I said, cutting her off. If I’d let her finish, it would have made about the eleven millionth time she’d said that.
“Yes. It will be strange,” my mother agreed. “Christmas without both of my kids with me will be…well, worse than strange. It’ll be just…awful!”
“You’re going to make her feel even more guilty than she already does, Ingrid,” my father said. “Sooner or later this was going to happen. Children do grow up.”
