After re-reading the letter forgotten in a drawer he was cleaning out, Brian decided to tear it into pieces. George died years ago. Sarah was far away. The betrayal was painful, but it transformed into blessings beyond imagining and forgiveness should have settled it long ago.
Then Brian regretted tearing up the letter wondering if he should tape the pieces back together.
To make sure he didn’t, Brian took the pieces to the sink and burnt them.

Good point! Maybe that is why we tell each other stories. It is better to relearn those lessons through fictional characters that we refused to accept when we were young rather than have to relearn them the hard way through our own lives. Blessings and thank you for that insight, Clark!
