Family Travel / 11

The neighbor lady took me into her parlor, sat me on the white sofa used only for guests, and told me my mother was dead.
I cried. I did the math. This leaves Dad, I thought. And cried some more.
Then I went back to the TV room and watched Halloween specials. Raggedy Ann and Andy. Someone was saving Halloween.
