It was exactly 5 am when alma opened her eyes the stillness of her mother's room that was once so filled with life now suffocating, she had gotten to North Carolina just a few days before, Ellen's service was yesterday, yesterday alma witnessed her mother's casket be lowered six feet below the ground, Yesterday Alma realized that she was now an orphan, she no longer had her mother, she had no one. It was exactly 5:20 am when alma managed to push herself up off her mother's bed slowly dragging herself through the house that she had grown up in the house Where her mother had taken in holly or where her mother had held her while Alma cried over a broken heart, it was 5:30am when Alma finally made it to the barn the head of her mothers beloved Arabian, Raven, slowly turned to look at her his blue eyes blinking before whickering softly, Alma poured food in his bucket before grabbing the grooming tools and headed back to the stall that had anything that smelled like her mother hanging on the walls, he refused to even touch his food the first few days it wasn’t until Alma was in tears pleading with him to eat that she remembered something someone had told her about the sent of their person being comforting, Alma couldn’t remember if it was in one of her textbooks from work or even if Dr.Linda had mentioned it to her while she was watching her work on the horses at windswept but it worked, it was 5:50 when Alma had slipped ravens bridle on and hoped on him bareback it was a cold and misty morning so she was not about to place her butt on a freezing cold saddle “okay raven lets go for a ride before we get you on the trailer back to Texas.” She said heaving herself upon his back before urging him into a walk towards the fields where Alma would eventually dismount and cry with a sad smile once she found her mother's favorite spot that was surrounded with fog, with time she and raven would both heal but for now they would both be allowed to grieve.
