Sam had shown up late last evening. Along with his brothers and JD, they’d broken the news about their father’s cancer to their mother. Seth had wasted countless hours throughout the day worrying about Vicky’s reaction, but he should have put the time to better use. His mom was the perfect counterpart to her tough-as-nails husband. She took the news calmly, nodded as they spoke and asked quite a few questions. Luckily Silas had been strong enough to stay put at the doctor’s office to get the answers for her. Afterwards, she simply stood and excused herself. He’d never seen his mother fall apart, never seen a chink in her resolute spirit. JD had followed her out of the room and Seth knew they would comfort each other in private. For her sons, Seth had no doubt Vicky would continue to put on a brave face, offering each of them a comforting shoulder and a sympathetic ear, but he was concerned how she would handle her grief when JD was gone. Seth looked around the table, studying the composure of his family and he felt humbled by their strength.
