I felt slightly apprehensive, but with Paddy at the foot of my bed I managed to fall asleep not long after it got dark. Adele phoned me while I was eating breakfast. She was calling a meeting of the committee which had oversight of the Family Friends program. She said most everyone else was able to attend, even with the short notice. After I told her about the events of Wednesday evening, I assured her I’d also be at the church at ten o’clock. I asked if I could bring Paddy, and she thought that would be fine. While I finished my coffee, I tried to focus my thoughts on the committee’s tasks. With all the disturbing events of the past week, it was a challenge to think about day-to-day needs of the Leonard family. My mind kept veering off to images of DuWayne chatting with his friends rather than his family, or the deer-in-the-headlights look Sunny had developed. However, I knew we, as a group, needed to find some ways to help Len and the girls get back to normal life as quickly as possible.
