Cass wipes her tears away, trying to be strong for Abby "It's okay to be sad, Abby. We will all miss Grandma Lucy."

"We're going to be okay, Abby." I hold her close.

Anne, ever the steady presence, speaks up softly. "Abby, Grandma Lucy loved you so much. She wouldn't want you to be sad for too long. She'd want you to remember all the good times you had together."

Abby nods against Cass's chest, her tears slowly subsiding. "I remember when we drew pictures of her favorite park. She said she'd take me there one day."

"That's a wonderful memory," Anne says, smiling gently. "And you can keep those pictures forever."

"I'll take you to that place, Abby." Cass says to her.

"Okay." Abby sniffles as her tears dry up a little.

Jayden clears his throat, drawing our attention. "I've been thinking... I'm not going back to the hospital tonight. I need to be here, with all of you, especially Abby. We have some big decisions to make about where we go from here." I nod in agreement, grateful for his decision.

Anne smiles, her eyes full of warmth. "Take the time you need to figure things out. I'm here this week to help with Abby, with whatever you need."

"Thank you, Anne," Jayden says, his voice filled with gratitude. "We couldn't do this without you."
