I am not finished yet.
Lucy Stormen thought she knew everything about her engaged boyfriend Mark Thomas. She knew his current job, he was a blacksmith. She knew his favorite color, navy blue. She didn't miss one detail. But what she didn't know was that when they got married and moved Mark was getting a new job, and will live in a funeral home. She thought this house was just a normal house but with 4 floors. He did tell her she couldn't go on the 4th floor. She agreed she wouldn't go for she thought that it was his floor when he needed privacy, it is just an attic. The first floor was a basement so she said that is where she wanted her private room to be and he agreed with that. A week later they got married and moved to their wonderful new home in San Diego, California. The house was just built. Lucy was stuned by the amazing house that Mark bought. Only for $160,000. She has no idea it was a funeral home and that the attic was where he was going to keep the dead people. A couple weeks after their settlement in the house Mark pretended to go to work as another blacksmith with better pay for now. She didn't go to any work for she promised she wasn't going to get a job. She was 7 months pregnant with a baby girl. Now, I never did tell you their ages. Mark is 34 and Lucy is 31. They love each other to pieces. They decided to name the baby Sheila after Mark's grandmother who had just passed away. They were so excited to finally have their first kid. Lucy decided to walk around and check out the place by herself. She checked out the basement and all the floors but dared to go into the attic for she feared Mark would find out and she would be in much trouble. This was the 1950's you know. Women barely had any rights and men had all of them. 8 hours later Mark came home. It was 6:00 and everyone was hungry. Lucy cooked some carrots, corn, and beef for supper. Then they read a little kid's book to Sheila because they figured it would make her smarter when she is being taught in school. After that they chatted for a while and went to bed.
The next morning they woke up and had over-easy eggs for breakfast. Lucy and Mark chatted for a while. Lucy still couldn't get over the death of her sister who had lung cancer. Mark told her to move on but in a different way kind of, it went like this "Even though a loved one has died a week ago a loved one was just born a week ago. Things happen and things don't. Some people stay alive and some don't but your sister is always looking over you and she is always making sure you don't get hurt, her body may be gone but her spirit is always with you". That made Lucy brighten up and thanked Mark for being so kind. She was now crying happy tears not sad and she thanked her sister for being so kind before she died. Mark didn't go to so called work that day because of her sister Carol's funeral. They went and Lucy was sad again because her sister's main goal in life was to see Lucy's baby be born before she died. At the funeral Lucy saw her other sister Harriet who she hasn't seen in 10 years.
