My wife finally woke up. Babe how did you sleep? Not well too many bad memories and today nightmare.  Babe I was talking with my mom.  I know you know I love it here but it's time to move.  Sweetie are you sure? Yes,with today fatality I can't see us living here anymore. I  will find someone to lease it.  We can move to your home.  We will be my aunts.  I have you and my aunts.  I know it won't be the same with so many of my relatives nearby but it's best for us both. Avery thank you. Babe we are a team.  You agreed to live here with me when you barely had bought your home. We can now make a life in your home.  Avery I love you. Babe I love you too. Let's get something to eat and tell the others. We will start packing tomorrow.  I have enough family so no movers will he needed.
Parker kisses me and cries.

Parker I want you to know.  I don't blame you. Thanks. I still feel awful.  I want us to get counseling too together.  I okay with that too.
I kissed my wife and we went downstairs.  We both stopped to see the area where my nani laid dead.

Aye Richard when did you get here? About 20 minutes ago. How are you sweetie? Okay. I am sorry for your loss. Thank you. Jackie how you doing? Okay. You guys I have announcements to make. Parker and I are going to be moving to her home.I love this place but it's not the same. I am glad baby girl. I wanted to suggest it to you but Maur said not to. You both needed to make up your own mind on your own.  Auntie she is right.  We are hungry whats for dinner? Lorenzo's with the Buffalo wild wings and salad.  Auntie will you get me the bourbon. You sure? Yes I need something more than wine or a beer.  Don't worry I won't drink alot...Four fingers only.
I need to call auntie Kiki to see how she is doing.
I hit my auntie Kiki's number.
Aye baby girl. Your up. Yes auntie.  How are you feeling? Sore. Angry and sad.  Auntie Parker and I are going to start packing tomorrow.  We are moving to Parker's to begin our lives over there and we will be going to joint counseling too.  Sorry aunties didn't say that.It will be good to have you closer to us and your auntie Jane and Maura.  Yeah.  Tomorrow you are to rest and not come and help nor Lisa.  But but...no auntie. I will tell my parents and the others. Okay love you auntie love you too.
I hung up and called my parents and uncle Tommy.  My dad told me he would get the troops to be there bright and early. He told me he didn't want me and Parker to do anything. Since we still had the flu. He asks me what I was eating for dinner.  He lectured me a bit and laughed. 

Babe daddy wasn't thrilled we were eating pizza with the flu.  I didn't tell him I was drinking bourbon.  He doesn't want either of us to worry about packing.  He wants us to rest. Well I am glad he said that. We still are too weak to be lifting and packing.  This cheese we will be paying for it as it is. I know but pizza smelled too good not to pass it up.
You two go back to bed.  We will bring your bourbon and food up. Parker what do you want? Hot tea with lemon please.  Okay you both get back to bed.  Okay Jackie.
Thank you all for today supporting us as usual. 
Everyone nodded or said your welcome.
