          She's found herself by the doorsteps of her sister's house.           Years have passed that they've spent the  C h r i s t m a s           together and even now she's shivering from the cold, just           holding a small box in her gloved hands. The doorbell is           pushed and when the door swings open words simply spill           from her mouth before older sister even has the time to turn           her away.

                   And could she have avoided it, she would have. But there                    was a pride nestled by her heart where only a few chosen                    easily slipped in without much effort. And one of them was                    her son. Born of her and raised to the values she believed                    in. And now it was simply time to let go again? Dark times                    in the horizon and an awfully lot to do. Were it in her hands                    she'd have kept him  h o m e. With her. Simply, she patted                    her hands along his coat, trying to get out the wrinkles of its                    front. A heavy sigh from her lips.
