From now on you'll have to remember to listen to the songs!

Sarah turned down the long winding road that led to her parents house. They were sitting on the porch when she stepped out of the car.

"Hi mom, hi dad." She hugged them both.

"It's good to see you again." Her dad smiled happily.

"It's good to see you to." She smiled back

"Emily stop hitting your sister!" She heard Harry shout from the car.

She laughed and rolled her eyes, walking back to the car to help him. Darcy and Emily were fighting, so she grabbed Adam's hand.

"Come on Adam."

Adam followed Sarah into the living room. Harry came in next dragging Emily and Darcy behind him.

"James refuses to get out of the car." He said slinging Emily onto the couch.

"Don't you dare move." He pointed a finger at Emily.

Darcy ran to the play room with the other kids. All four of them would be sleeping there for the week. Sarah left Harry to punish Emily while she went to covince James to get out of the car.

"James?" She singsonged.

"What?" He pouted.

"Don't you want to come see grandmommy and grandaddy?"

"I want to see chubbers." He poked out his bottom lip.

Chubbers was his bear and he never went anywhere without him, but Harry had forgotten to bring him. The six year old had cried the entire plane ride, and pouted in the car.

"If you come inside I'll get daddy to take you out for ice-cream." She wigged her eyebrows.

"Okay!" He jumped over the seat and ran into the house, almost knocking Harry down.

"Whoah, watch where your going son." He laughed.

James went into the play room and Harry walked out to the car. Emily came out after him. Sarah handed them some bags to take inside.

"This isn't fair." Emily stomped towards the house.

"You shouldn't have hit your sister then." Harry followed her.

Sarah took the rest of the bags and set them by the door. Harry came around the corner, and seeing the look on her face he gave her a hug.

"Go." He whispered.

She pulled away and walked out the door to the car. She drove down the road until she saw the all to familiar store, Samson's produce. She bought two Lilies, a pink one and a white one and then she drove home and went out to the pasture heading for the old oak tree in the corner. It's leaves swayed in the afternoon breeze.

They came to visit her parents once a year, but this was the real reason she came each and every year no matter what.

She sat down in front of the large stone that read "Comet 2003-2012" and placed the flowers in front of it like she had done for the past thirteen years. She traced the engraved letters with her fingers, and began to sing.

"I thought if I could touch this place or feel it this brokeness inside me might start heeling out here it's like I'm someone else I thought that maybe I could find myself If I could just come in I swear I'll leave Won't take nothing but a memory from the house that built me."

A voice joined hers, and she realized Harry was singing with her. She was horrified for a split second, but kept singing anyway. Thier voices sounded beautiful together and she knew Comet would have appreciated it.

They finished the chorus and Harry kneeled beside her.

"All these years and you never told me you could sing." He put an arm around her.

"You never asked." She layed her head on his shoulder and smiled up at him.

He kissed the top of her head and stared at the stone. They just sat there for a while until they heard four voices and footsteps.

"What are you guys doing?" Darcy came from Harry's left side and the other children followed.

"Go back inside We'll be there in a minute."

"They can stay." Sarah smiled at her four beautiful children. She was really going to miss them when she was gone.

"Who is comet?" Adam asked looking at the stone.

She told them the story of Comet and they laughed over some of the funny things Comet did. By the end of their talk Sarah felt almost relieved. After thirteen years she had managed to share Comet's story with someone other than Harry. They started talking about random things and it was a memory she never wanted to forget.

"So when are you taking me for ice-cream?" James scooted closer to Harry.

Harry gave him a confused look and Sarah couldn't help herself so she just started laughing.

"I promised you would take him out for ice-cream if he got out of the car."

"Well then let's all go for ice-cream!"

"Really?" The kids chorused.

"Really." Harry started towards the house and the kids followed.

"Sarah? Are you coming?"

"Yeah." She stood up taking one last glance at his grave. "See you soon Comet." She whispered.
