1985: Gram’s backyard. Sarah put her pudgy arms around her Gram’s neck and wiped her tears with one grimy mitten. “How come you’re crying for the people in that shuttle if you didn’t know them?” she asked.
This must be an alternate universe, because in this universe the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred in the spring of 1986, not 1985. I know because I was building the West Coast Launch Site for the Shuttle at the time.
Whoops. Do you know how many proofers this went through, and it still got missed? And I know that as well, since I remember the disaster vividly. Thanks!
Moving, and very actual. Loved the mother’s portrait in it. PS: I became one in 1998…
