“She gripped her cell phone like a lifeline. “I miss you,” she lamented to her daughter, Stephanie.
“We’ve only been gone six hours,” Steph reminded her.
Only six hours ago her daughter and son-in-law had stopped by Sweet Somethings Bakery to tell Sarah one last good-bye. Her granddaughters, seven-year-old Katie and five-year-old Adeline, had been in tears. Even Sarah’s husband, Sam, Mr. Tough Guy Fire Chief, who had run over from the station to help see them off, had been looking a little misty... eyed. A box of oatmeal cookies from Nana’s bakery had cheered the girls considerably. And Sam went back to the fire station with an apple pie and a smile.
But nothing was going to make Sarah feel better. There was nothing in the bakery, nothing in her life, that could fill the big, empty spot her daughter’s family had left behind.
