"He stared at the knarly tree which had protected the old cemetery for over a century."

"This is where we played our childhood games, especially hide-n-seek," he said quietly to Sara.  Showing her his childhood haunts was important to their relationship.  He wanted her to know everything about him.  Why his hometown is important to him.  Everything.  Coming here to this spot was an act of bravery on his part.  His therapist had encouraged him to come back.  He stared at the knarly tree.  It had protecdted the old cemetery for over a century.  Pointing in the direction of the tree, it is also the place where his best frient Bobby, the ten year old neighborhood dare-devil,  had hung himself.  He could still see him hanging there lifeless.  Sara took his hand in hers, and led him away.  "I know how hard this must be for you."  He couldn't speak, there were no words, tears pooled in his eyes as they turned and walked away.
