Chapter Two
When Jamie got to the 밤나무 oak door of Michael’s den, she put her fist on the surface and knocked on it while asking her husband, “Michael, are 당신 there?” There was a 분 of silence that came after that and after waiting for a response, still in the den, Michael asked the person who was asking him that 질문 about him being there, “Yeah, I’m in here. Who’s it?”
Facing the door, Jamie said back to him, “It’s me, Jamie.” After telling him that, Jamie heard some groaning behind the door and right away, she knew that Michael had might be annoyed at her because Michael doesn’t liked when people starting banging at his door and get disturbed from he was doing 의해 them. The moment she heard that groaning, Jamie really wanted to ask him to opened the door and let her in so she can see if he’s okay with everything 또는 not. To do that, Jamie knocked on the door again to see if he’s still there and listening to her and in return, Michael yelled at her, “What do 당신 want from me, Jamie?”
“Get me in so I can see 당신 is I wanted from you.” answered 의해 Jamie. 초 after hearing that from his wife, Michael sighed loudly from inside the room and said to her, “Fine, then. 당신 can come in. The door was unlocked.” When Michael told her to come in, Jamie said to him but mostly to herself, “Thank you.” While putting her hand on the doorknob, turning it around, opened the door, and got inside.
Once she got the den, the whole room was dark and in the dark, Jamie looked around the room to see where Michael is at. All four walls of the room had stacked with 체리 wood bookcases filled with 책 ranging from Charles Dickens to Hemingway to John Grisham, large 사진 albums that filled with pictures of the family all the way from Michael and her great-grandparents to all the way down to their very own. There were many cherish items from Michael’s life like his sport trophies, framed diplomas that he was proud of and earned since Grade School and to keep their two little girls happy, Michael had their drawings they made for him framed which is now on the shelves and walls, covered with dust right now.
In the middle of the room was his 책상, 데스크 which is filled with papers he had drew on his sketches for one of his many side projects which is building furniture made out of wood for their 집 and other people. His designs were amazing to looked at and when it was time to make them for real, Michael had putted so much faith and time into those that the furniture had become 더 많이 beautiful in real life which is right now, it was really one of the few things he like to do for the past few months beside not wanting to be with his wife and kids.
다음 to his 책상, 데스크 was the big green suede easy chair that he loves since he brought it at a flea market for only $20. He told Jamie that 일 when he brought that chair that the moment he sat on that chair, it was one of the most comfortable things he ever sat on and it makes he felt good about himself which was that very moment, Michael was sitting on it with a soft flannel blanket covering him and an opened book on his lap but he wasn’t 읽기 the book at all, he was just staring into space.
Jamie founded him sitting there and wanting their 사랑 to come back again, she walked behind the green chair, put her arms around his shoulders, and smoothing his neck and stubbles on his face while saying to him in a soft and sweet voice, “Morning, Baby. How 당신 are feeling right now?”
Without turning around and staring at those pale blue eyes of her with his brown ones, Michael told her in a low voice that he just got a bad dream about Iraq, gave him the creeps, and went to his 굴, 덴 to be safe. Hearing that, still with her arms around his neck, Jamie kissed his neck, jaw, and a bit of his right ear, she asked him if he can talk to her about it so she can see if she can help him out with it to make it better for him.
There was another silence between them when she asked him that but it was broken when Michael turned to her for the first time, stared at her with those empty brown eyes again like always and answered her 질문 의해 saying to her, “No, Jamie. 당신 can’t help me out with it. Not this time.”
Wanting to help him right now but can’t because her husband told her that he didn’t wanted her help right now, Jamie asked him another question. “When is the time for me to help you?” The moment he heard that, Michael answered her 질문 의해 saying to her, “I don’t know, Jamie. Probably soon but now, can 당신 leave the 굴, 덴 right now? I would like to be alone.”
“Like always!” thought 의해 Jamie when she heard that line many times before this and wanting her husband that she cares about him and loves him, Jamie kissed him on the cheek and told him that if he wanted some breakfast 또는 something, she will be making 팬케이크 for the girls this morning and there will be a cup of coffee waiting for him. “How that feels, Honey?”
In return, Michael didn’t say a word to her about it; he just gave her a nod and went back to his curtain covered window he was staring at before. Jamie saw that, sighed to herself again for knowing that she did another unsuccessful job of getting him to come back to her. Jamie was wondering when he will turn to her again and telling her that he loves her and there will be a little clearing of hope in his eyes and everything will go back to normal when she heard the tiny footsteps of their daughters, walking to the 부엌, 주방 for some breakfast. Jamie knew that she had to go and begin to walked out of the 굴, 덴 to take care of Mac and Izzie and get little Jake out of his room and into the 부엌, 주방 where she will be right here in waiting for Michael to come back.

OK so i was walking down the street...all alone...in the rain...not happy but not sad ether...when suddenly I ran into a 목련 tree!I don't know how I didn't see it...or why it was in the middle of the road-but it was there and when I looked at it I saw it was the biggest 목련 I had ever seen;it was absolutely GINORMOUS!it to be at least as tall as a skyscraper. I couldn't even see the top.Now what is the easiest way to get past a tree? Go around it of course! but when i looked there was a wall!Two walls!on ether side of the 나무, 트리 that prevented me from passing(again,how didn't I see this before?)It was not an ordinary
벽 ether,and must have taken allot of work to build because it was as tall,or taller than the tree!so I was stuck with a 목련 and two walls
what was I to do?turn back?I had come too far!so knowing this,what do 당신 think I did?What would 당신 have done?

I look at the old photographs. It kills me to see him smile. I've only heard about him. I hear he would have loved me. I hear he was nice. I hear that he was a good dad. I hear he was an okay husband. I hear that he would have made a good grandfather. It's not fair. It kills me when my dad talks about him. My dad said one of his last words to him were "Dont miss me when I'm gone." Those words run through my head. 일 and night and keep me up thinking of him. Why did he have to go? I pray he's okay and fine in heaven. I pretend he's still here. If only he were ... I miss him....
I guess he's just....
Hard to Let Go
Dedicated to my grandfather I miss 당신 ... even if I never met 당신 =,[
