From Coolidge to Kauai

FROM COOLIDGE TO KAUAI takes readers from laughter to tears and unexpected twists as in this scene:<p>Suddenly Daddy started clearing the top shelf of the refrigerator throwing everything onto the floor with a vengeance.<br>Stop it! Momma shouted. Stop it right now!<br>Shut up! Daddy roared. Get out of my sight!<br>Standing at the fireplace Momma reached up took down Grandpa Burke's shotgun broke it open and pushed in two shells. No Momma! I yelled as I ripped open the bedroom door nearly knocking Melinda to the floor. I heard Danny leaping off the bed behind me and crying out frightened.<br>Daddy turned when I yelled. Seeing Momma with the shotgun he slammed the refrigerator door shut and then started for the living room. As he rounded the partition I could see her bringing up the double barrels preparing to fire. I bolted out of the bedroom running for Daddy planning on pushing him out of the way.<br>The shotgun blast never touched him but it knocked me off my feet stinging my back and my head and hurling me into the partition. I bounced back flopping on the floor my vision quickly fading to total darkness.<br>An instant later I found myself in a park filled with light. Off to my right was a group of people. I didn't recognize any of them. Then a familiar figure walked past them and came up to me.<br>Hi Grandpa. What are you doing here?<br>Grandpa Burke smiled gave me a hug and then said I've come to show you something.<br>Am I dead Grandpa?<br><p>-Light from the Other Side<br>
