Every night my wife and I sit in our living room and watch TV or just talk and look outside. There was very light traffic‚ I had only seen 2 or 3 cars that night. After a while we noticed that Rhoda had pulled into her driveway pretty late. I had forgotten to get my mail that day so I went out to the mailbox and waved to her. I went back inside and was going to get ready for bed. I took a quick shower and got my pajamas on. As I was getting a drink from the fridge I hear some noise from Rhoda’s house

And so here we are‚ walking through forests‚ woods‚ and plains on The Trail of Tears‚ looking for our destination. We have been walking since‚ and our clothing can do nothing against the

a surprise letter‚ maybe even a visit- I entertained the thoughts of these things‚ when in fact I should have known better. You and mom divorced when I was a child and I never developed any childhood memories of you. My mother moved on and married again (two more times‚ actually).
