the ride home in the ambulance had let him sink into a self-pitying despair , he only was aware of his own pain and burning desire to just drink it all away they all remained together , all was very solemn in the room , the local priest stopped and gave diana her last rights , then around supper time diana took her last breath and passed rather peacefully , seemingly in no painit was the smallest of comforts selah felt like a silent ball of furythis wasnt supposed to happenshe was supposed to have her mom around to talk to , to lean on the jones men looked identical , lost in thought oblivious to anyone other than themselvesthey all slowly made their way home , all together but separate .
