Chapter 7

“My auntie’s going to be calling us about the funeral, if you want to go.”

Sam lowered his head in quiet respect for the loss of life. “Ya, we will. How are you doing right now?”

“Honestly, I’m sad about the loss of so much potential. He carried so much anger, Sam! We were talking about it on the way home. All we can figure out is that, deep down, he was really insecure about his role as a man, husband and father. And it came out as violence.”

Hannah came out onto the porch. Seeing Abram’s swollen, bruised and misshapen nose, she gasped and ran to him. “Abram, what happened?”

“My uncle hit me. Last night. We had to call the sheriff in Ohio.” Abram sighed, not wanting to tell Hannah the tragic news. But he knew she would get it out of him. “Very early this morning, he hung himself. Auntie Emily will be calling with details for the viewing and funeral.”

“Oh, my! I hope he’ll finally find peace. Ya, we will go to the funeral. Are you in pain?”

Abram waggled his hand back and forth. “I take acetaminophen and insert this numbing stuff into my nostrils. Because of my anxiety medication, that’s all I can do.”

“I hope you’re taking that medication as ordered.”

“Oh, ya. I am. It helps. Although, I had a very strange nightmare last night. I dreamed about being hit by Zeb again. Only, I wasn’t myself. I was my auntie.”

Hannah’s, Sam’s and Ruth’s jaws all dropped. Ruth shook her head. “That gives you a unique perspective, doesn’t it?”

“Ya. I’m going to tell Joshua everything that happened. Hannah, do you want to come home with me?”

“Ya, I do. You look so tired!”

“I am. But it’s just mainly because of everything that’s happened since Zeb was banned.”

Sam interjected. “Abram, I notice you’re not referring to him as ‘uncle.’”

Abram shook his head carefully. “I can’t think of him as my blood. Not after everything he did to his family and me. I will respect the gut parts of him. But...”

“Ya, I understand. You are changing, Abram. You’re in touch with the gut part of you.” Ruth was looking at Abram. “We all have two sides to us, gut and bad. Allow your gut side to come out.”

Again, being careful, Abram nodded.

“I’ll pack our things. Mamm, I’m going to make an early supper at home. He needs to get to bed as early as possible. Abram, have you told your family yet?”

“Nee. I’m not sure if Auntie Emily has called them or not. We should stop by there as well.”

“I’ll be down in a few minutes.” Hannah disappeared upstairs.
