Chapter 28 - The Opening Day

Community center opened.

Senior apartments occupied.

No plaque for Vale.

No plaque for Robert.

Wall displayed transparent history of property including fraudulent sale and restitution.

Names.

Dates.

No sanitizing.

Michael approved.

Sarah brought children.

She pointed to Robert’s name.

“That was your grandfather.”

Her daughter asked:

“Was he good?”

Sarah smiled sadly.

“He did good things and wrong things.”

Child accepted easier than adults.

Maybe complexity was learned early if adults allowed it.

Thomas attended quietly.

Peter too.

May you like

No dramatic reunion.

Just people standing in same room without pretending.
