After the Loss

I think Mona is coming to life again, thank heaven. She said her son Nick wants to be the Lion King this Halloween and Bobby wants to go as Spiderman, but she can't find those costumes here and must go all the way to Bakersfield where they have a huge Halloween display at Party Works-dozens of characters. Mona said her boys asked, "Mama, why don't you dress up like Cinderella and go around with us trick or treating?" And Mona told them, "I might just do that very thing."
