involved in this government take-over simply because my parents were one of the many that had to move off their land. The land was passed down from my grandparents and their grandparents. It was not in the test site area, but at the edge of the buffer zone. My whole family was very sad watching them search for land to move to. It was hard then to travel without delays. So many houses were bought by the government and given back to the people if they moved it from the land it was on. No building was allowed to stand on any of the land designated for Nasa. There were so many houses being transported down the roads to their new locations that a one of two hour wait was a common thing. Even graves were unearthed to find a new resting place. It was a sad time.”
    “I came after all of that took place, but I heard about it and felt sorry for the people that, that happened to. I am also sorry for your people and for you to have to go thru that. Did your people find a new location that they were happy with?”
    “As happy as they could be. They moved just a few miles further north of their land.”
    “Sometimes life can be so cruel.”
    “Yes,” but now she was not thinking of the land taken from them, but of loosing her husband, Joe.
    Needing to change the subject, he said, “I want to take you out to eat. Where is your favorite place?”
    “Any of the fish houses here. That is what Picayune is known for, their seafood restaurants. Do you like seafood?”
    “Yes, it is my favorite. Or I should say, was. Now your soup is my favorite,” he said while giving her the sweetest smile she had ever seen. They talked for another hour, until they decided to call it a night. ”Let me know when you are ready to go for that swim. I am looking forward to it.”
    Again he looked at her with loving eyes, wanting to touch her, but not wanting to force himself on her. He left just thanking her for their evening.
    “Where were you, Dad? You left the note for Gail not to cook for you or to wait up for you. Were you with your new friends again or maybe with just one of your new friends? What about your lady friend, Anna, is that where you were?” Bill said with sarcasium. “Did she heat dinner up for you? You don’t look hungry? What else did she heat up for you?”
    A hand went flying out and struck his son’s face. “Don’t you ever say anything like that about Anna. I told you she is a decent woman. And also you are insulting me. Do you think I would take advantage of any woman especially a good, decent woman!” He was shocked at the emotion he was showing. Never in all his years of raising his two boys, did he hit them.
    “Well, that answered my question of how much this woman means to you. A man will always be quick to defend the woman he cares about. Oh, how quickly we are to forget the woman that spent her life taking care of you and suffered to bear you children. Just bury her and find another one; huh, Dad?”
    “I was sorry I hit you; but now I want to hit you again. You have no idea the suffering I am going thru with the loss of your mother.”
    Gail had to cut in; “I’ve never seen either one of you so angry with each other before. Can’t you see you are both hurting from the lost of Mom? Dad, Bill just thinks it is too soon for you to find someone to replace her, that’s all. And he is at such a loss without her. You both are hurting inside for the same person; me included. Dad, you have to recognize were Bill is coming from. It’s not that he doesn’t want you to be happy with or without someone else. He is still dealing with the woman he loved and loss. A man and his mother have such a strong bond that when it is broken is unbearable. Be patient with him. A bond with a father and son is also insufferable. You both need to hug and forgive each other. Bill just thinks you haven’t given yourself time to heal before reaching out to someone else. ” Gail was shook up. Never did she ever have to come between
