Chapter 1

Ricky

Isat the pizza down on the table and opened up the box. Ah, it smelled delicious. This was the second night in a row that we’d had pizza, but with the later shifts I’d been working this week, I hadn’t had time to really cook anything, or even get to the grocery store to pick up anything to fix. That was the life of a firefighter. There was always something that needed your attention. But so far this week there hadn’t been any catastrophes or lost lives. That was a bonus and a reason to celebrate.

I grabbed a few plates from the cupboard and sat them on the table. After that I picked up a few glasses and the bottle of soda from the fridge. As I poured I called out, Zoe! Dinner!

A moment later my eight-year-old daughter, Zoe came bounding out of her room. She’d been doing her homework. Apparently, she had a big spelling test tomorrow and she had to be ready for it. I tried to think back to the struggles of the third grade, but it had been thirty years for me and I couldn’t for the life of me remember a damn thing about it. That was ok. I’d live vicariously through my daughter. That was the plan, anyway.

I took out two slices from the box and sat them down quickly on her place. Careful, it’s still hot. I put my finger in my mouth to soothe the slight burn.

I sat down and placed a few slices on my plate as well, careful to not get burned again. It looked and smelled delicious. I could remember when pizza night was a once a week thing, if we were lucky. Amanda had always insisted on us eating healthy most of the time, and she was the one who did all of the cooking, so whatever she decided we ate was fine with me.

Amanda... my angel. I couldn’t believe it had been two years since we’d lost her. Every time I looked in Zoe’s face, I saw her. She was the spitting image of her mother. They looked like twins. Why did she have to go? The cancer came out of nowhere. It all happened in a flash. She suddenly started getting sick. She discovered the lump in her breast and
