John woke up early and went for a jog. He needed to clear his mind and get his head straight so he could be there for his dad today. Anna’s funeral was scheduled for mid afternoon and there were still plenty of things that needed to be done around the house. He knew his dad would not be in any shape to do the things necessary. When he returned from his jog amber was up in the kitchen preparing a country breakfast. There was enough grease in that kitchen to clog five grown men’s arteries. The...

Sunday morning brought no change in Mrs. McClellan’s status; after a good night’s sleep “Big Cotton” got up early to eat his usual breakfast. He had eaten the same thing every morning of his life.
