Chapter 5: The Last Goodbye
She paused at the door and looked again out over the fields. The old walnut tree had been there since the beginning of time and had once sheltered a separate unused kitchen with an upstairs room where Mama stored and shelled its walnuts and where children loved to play. Its limbs had reached out strong and steady, bearing all of the chin-ups her brother performed on the bar beneath its branches. It now stood black and barren waiting for the Spri? See More

Chapter 4: The Last Goodbye
The dining room, which had later doubled as her father's bedroom, was empty now. It suddenly dawned on her how few personal things her father possessed. They had all been held in the top drawer of his chest of drawers and on the three shelves on the wall above it. And yet, she still remembered how he had treasured the ring the children had given him and that he later lost it in the garden when he lost weight. How much he had loved his wristwatches. His arms had been spotted and old but he still wore his watches proudly and although his fingers were bent with age, he had always kept his nails spotlessly clean and shaped. Blue was his favorite color and for many years the room had been blue. The clock that had hung above the door was now gone. He had always had a need to know the time - even in the hospital in the middle of the night. Gone was his bed that everybody had sat on, threw their coats and other belongings on, laid their babies on to change their diapers, and piled their Christmas presents on. Had this bothered him, she wondered. It would have bothered her. Had he wanted more space, more privacy? If he had, he had never said so. Maybe he liked it here in the center of the house. Here he could lie and hear what was going on in the kitchen or in the living room or on the porch. Through here, Nannie came in the mornings on her way to fix their breakfast. Upon really thinking about it, she decided that it had been exactly where he would have chosen to be.
The wrap around porch with its louvered windows had been the heart of the house in the summer time. She could still remember the excitement of watching it being built. The framing had been laid with many little sections and Daddy and Pa John had poured the cement. How did it ever dry without a hand or foot print?
Prior to the addition, they had entered the house from the back, going up the "tree trunk" steps Daddy had made. In early days it had been used as an ordinary porch. Children sat on the ledge with their feet hanging off wondering if they dare jump when Mama wasn't looking, or if they should take the chance of pushing another one off. The shelf between the posts had held the wash pan and soap and it was here that the sticky tobacco gum was removed after a day in the fields. The wringer washer and the tubs that had to be filled with water from the spring sat on the end. Later it had been enclosed. The porch had always been adorned with flower pots on the shelves and in hanging pots. It had held the deep freeze, which gave forth so much good food for Sunday's table. The shelf was still there in the corner where "Mitzi" the cat sat, watching the bumblebees and hummingbirds on lazy summer days. The dearest memory she had of her youngest brother was here, and she could see him again as he sat on the porch on a Sunday afternoon, teasing his brothers and merrily laughing as he moved the feet that were never still. And she wished she had had the answer to her Mother's words at his death. "Why? Why?" Will there ever be an answer to all of our "Whys"? (just one more chapter, promise!) -janice
