When Dan got home and got Cale to bed he went to his room to see Dawn.
“Hey,” he said. “How are you doing?”
“I’m ok,” she said. She looked at her husband. “Daniel, I want to ask you to do something for me.”
“Sure, anything,” Dan said.
“I want you to promise me that after I’m gone you’ll re-marry,” Dawn said, with a serious look on his face.
“Dawn, you’re not going to….” started Dan.
“Daniel, you know just as well as I do that it’s only a matter of time.”
Dan looked at his wife, tears starting in his eyes. Dawn put her hand on his face. He kissed her.
“I love you,” Dan said.
“I love you too,” said Dawn.
2 weeks after graduation, Brooke was all moved into Dan and Dawn’s place. She helped take care of Dawn and Cale.
One day Brooke was in taking care of Dawn, moving her around so she wouldn’t get bed sores.
“Brooke, promise me you’ll take care of my family. Take care of Dan and my little boy,” Dawn said. Brooke stopped and looked at her.
