Callie's POV ...
I stared at myself in the mirror. Rex had gone away to run the blood tests and I was left alone in the exam room. I had locked the door immediately after he had left and I allowed the first tear to fall from my eyes.
It was the first time since the battle I had let go of my emotions. I felt like I was holding it all together for the sake of others because I knew I had to. They were all depending on me.
I still had the funeral ceremony to handle and that would be the hardest to handle. It was to be held either tomorrow morning or the following day, once all the dead had been identified and claimed.
I thought of all those poor children who would have to live through life without one or both of their parents. My heart broke for them. I wished I could take away their pain but I was only but one woman.
