Excerpt From Breaking Chains

     Grandpa blessed the food Grandma prepared and then cleared his throat and said, "Vicky, we love you and we want what's best for you. I know it's going to take some time to get over the heartache of losing your parents, but it will get easier with time. Our Heavenly Father doesn't make mistakes and we may never know why, but there's a reason for everything."
     Grandma just cried as Grandpa spoke and then she excused herself from the table. Grandpa grabbed my hand and asked if I understood.
     "Yes, sir," I answered. Then he excused himself to check on Grandma. I pushed my plate away, my appetite was gone. As I headed back to my room, my grandparents were sitting in the living room in a tight embrace, Grandma still wailing and for the first time, I saw Grandpa sobbing, too!
