“That hurt” “Yeah….” “Hey Joel… thank you for taking one for me..” “No problem… even though I didn't want you to get hit…” “It’s ok…” “Robert….. Joel dinner is done” “Let's go Rob”

 

*Yawn Jane is still sleeping and Lois is to…. Should probably wake the boys up…. “Hey George?” “What? Oh hey dad” “Get ready for your job” “Aww man…” “Yeah, now hit the showers before everyone else get there” “Ok…” “Oh and wake up Henry for me while you're at it” “Ok dad” Lets see where are my blue jeans and my black shirt “Robert?” “Oh.. yeah Jane?” “Work starts when the trumpet blows…” “Ok, do you have a job?” “Yeah, chef” “Ok… do you want to get ready?” “Yeah” “Can you please dress up Lois and drop her off at the daycare?” “Will do” I quickly got dressed and woke up Lois and dressed her… Man…. My little girl, already 3 years old, and living in this mess… I hope one day she’ll have a normal childhood… “Aww…. you're my little princess” “Ya Ya Ya!” I chuckled and carried her to the daycare. A lot of kids, to many… I hope they know what they're doing… “Hi, um is this the daycare?” “Oh yes umm name and your Child's name” “Oh I'm Robert Elliotts and this is Lois” “HAI! HAI! HAI! HAI!” “Aww, she's so cute” “Thank you’’ “Ok have a nice first day of work” “You too” I hope Lois is safe… “Hey dad!” “He-” Henry bear hugged me. Man… Henry is growing so big, 10 years old… wow… His entire life in this depression… How could I let this happen? Happen my family and George wants to be like me, he is just a little me, 15 years old almost a man he will be soon, very soon. Then theres Jane, she met me as a patriot girl four years later we got married had George, Henry, and Lois… How does it go by so far away, she put her trust into me, to be a man to have the perfect family, to have a nice home, a nice farm… Enough of this sorrow in me I have to say something to him “I Love you Henry” I hugged him harder than anyone I ever hugged “I.. I love you to dad” Henry said bewilderedly “Hey dad how do I look? Ready for work?” “Haha! You look like a funky chicken” “Shut up Henry you're just mad cuz I have a better sense of style than you!” “Henry is right, you look like a funky chicken” “Ha-Ha, well I'm ready for to work so bye!” “We have to wait for the trumpet” “Ugh!” “Ok Henry you're going to work with mom in the kitchen ok, be safe bye” “Bye dad” Henry’s Golden hair flowed perfectly in the wind as he ran to Doris, funny little kid I really need to cut his hair *Trumpet “Let's go dad” “George you know I was just kid’n  with ya” “Yeah I know” It was peaceful walking to the fields “Ok men y'all ready?” Nearly every man in this crowd said yes “Alrighty then grab your tools and get to work” “Come on George follow me AND DON'T get lost” “Ok dad” We both grabbed our tools but when we went to go we were stopped “Robert?” An unknown voice said my name “Yea-“ I stopped dead in my track… A sudden fear rose inside me I gulped and said “Dad..” “Robert...” All I can feel is an overwhelming guilt washing over me “I'm sorry..” I could say nothing… they say actions speak louder than words so I just hugged him “No I’m sorry” I never introduced George to my dad, he has to be confused. The only time he ever asked about my dad was was all the way back in 1930 and all I said was ‘He’s dead’… “George..this is your grandpa Joe” George finally knew what I meant by ‘He’s dead’
