Chapter 6

Pem smiled at her grandma when she came into the kitchen. “You’ve gone viral, Grandma. Look. People are loving you because you dressed down that news reporter.” Grandma eyed the video of her and the reporter. “The Internet and the people on television are saying that you’re the greatest thing that has ever hit the airways.”

“I shouldn’t have done that to that young man.” Pem asked her why not. “He was only doing his job. I was angry in the first place, and you know it never ends well when you’re upset and take it out on someone else. My goodness. What those people at the funeral must think of me taking away from what we were doing there.”

“They interviewed Linda this morning.” She backed the news station up until she found the point where they had spoken to Linda on the morning news. “Watch this, Grandma. You’ve made a difference in their lives. Not just Linda’s, but a lot of people.”

“…Yes. Tonight, we’re going to have a meeting, the families of the fallen and decide what to do with the things that have been donated. One television station donated fifty hams and turkeys for us to give away to others in need.” The news reporter asked if they were going to give everything away. “That’s what we’re deciding on this evening. It’s lovely. All of this for us to help others when we’ve had so many generous people giving when they could. Even being able to go to the grocery store for a few things is much nicer since there isn’t a group of men and women on our lawn all the time shoving microphones and phones in our faces. I’m so happy that they’re giving all of this the time to…well, for us to get used to being without our life partners. To grieve. I have thought of being without my husband. He was an officer, but the reality is so much worse than you think it will be. We have Mrs. Black to thank for us having the time to do what we so sorely need right now. Even though I know her heart is heavy too, she came to mine and the others’ aid when we needed it most.”

“Do you think she did that to appease her own feelings?” Pem watched her grandma as Linda stiffened up. Grandma did the same thing. “It was her grandchildren that—”

“Yes, it was. We all know that. Even if we didn’t want to remember, you people would be reminding us all the time. She was at my house that morning, getting me up and out of bed. Making breakfast for the other children when my sister-in-law just didn’t want to move. After arranging a sitter for me, she gently bullied me into getting a shower, getting dressed. Not one camera was there when she sat and cried with me. Telling me that she was so very sorry that it had happened to me. I didn’t want to go to the service, because we’d be seeing my husband for the last time.
