“My mom showed up. I hadn't had time to talk to Pat much about that. There'd been too much going on.When I got called on to share, I just talked about amends in general, and about forgiveness. I didn't say anything about Snake. About the little note he left for me in the tree house. I had it in my pocket, but I thought it might be better to talk to Pat about that privately. Especially with my mom hanging around.Once while I was sharing I looked at Zack and he was looking right at me, and he look...ed really sad. It felt awful to see him looking so sad. I felt so bad about it, I almost didn't have room to feel mad anymore.When I was done sharing I could tell my mom wanted to talk. She was leaning forward, staring at me, and her eyes said, Pick me. Pick me. But I wasn't sure how. Was I supposed to call her “Mom” in front of all these people? Or “Rita”? It seemed rude to point like you do with a stranger. I said, “Does anybody feel like sharing?”She raised her hand. I wanted to tell her you don't have to do that.MoreLessRead More Read Less
