As the minister gave a tender eulogy to a girl he didn't even know, my mind slipped back to the past...
I was in a chapel, similar to the one I was physically in at that moment. I remembered seeing an open casket. I walked up to it.
"Mommy!" I screamed. My father picked me up and tried to quiet me. He eventually had to take me outside. He had been telling me that mommy had to go away, but I didn't understand. I understood it at that heart crushing moment.
I shook my head and returned to the present...

That particular back story took me by surprise. Jake's getting more human by the drabble! :-)

Thank you, Neville and Drew. I thought it would be appropriate to start giving a little of Jake's back story. It just might be a clue as to where the next Jake Randolph story is headed. :)
