That was our day three. Blood test, news, shipped out, dead horse.

Cleveland becomes a dead horse, meaning if they couldn’t save it, if the sick had over run the city, they weren’t going to waste their efforts or antibodies on Cleveland.

To me that was too depressing. But I had to come to grips with the reality of it.

The four of us spent that night talking about our families. Jack and I shared the same deep fears and hurt over the thought of our children getting ill. I had to stop myself from tearing up each time I thought of my precious little girl. I was racked with anxiety, had visions of her, and missed her. What if she got it? I wasn’t going to be there, was I?

Jack conveyed the same thoughts and fears.

But, Helen, she had a totally different outlook. Maybe it was because her children were older. But I heard what she said and it has stayed with me.

“If this grips our God’s green world, then … then I am glad I am sheltered in here,” she said in her wise manner, sewing something, I think a bib. “If the Lord decides to take my children, I will mourn. Hearing about it will somehow never make it real, so in a sense it will never stick with me one hundred percent. Yep,” she sighed. “I’d rather hear about my child dying then watch him or her die.”

She’d rather hear that they died than watch them die.

In way, she made tragic sense.
