Always a Mcbride (2003)
“Normally, Taylor wouldn’t have felt comfortable trespassing on someone else’s property without at least getting their permission first, but Joe and Zeke had made it clear on a number of occasions that he was welcome to look around as much as he liked. Without even thinking about it, he headed straight for the family cemetery.
Nestled under the trees, high on a hill overlooking the homestead, it was just as he’d remembered it…quiet, peaceful, ageless. In the valley below, the house that had been home to countless McBrides was a testament to the survival of the family, but here on the hillside, time was measured not in years, but in the graves.
Surrounded by silence, Taylor stood under the old pine tree that hovered protectively over his father’s grave and waited for the old bitterness and anger to twist in his gut, just as it always did whenever he thought of Gus McBride. This time, however, he was stunned to discover that the only emotion he felt was regret. Regret that he’d never had... a chance to know the man his brothers and sisters called Dad.MoreLess
