Going through puberty, Gloria's joints hurt. The bones in her legs ached and the joints in her elbows creaked. Every part of her body just plain hurt. "Growing pains" her mother called them. Her body was stretching and growing and she was physically changing into an adult.
Sixteen now she felt the same pain, only in her heart, when Henry stepped onto the bus that would take him to war. Anna was crying, Sam looked distraught, and she wondered why adults forgot to mention that growing up hurt just as bad on the inside as it did on the outside.
