She cares for him and let's him get his mind away from his wife as she speaks to him calmly and feeds him often.

"It was driving that helped her cope with losing her sister, being able to point the vehicle in whatever direction she wanted and just go." (24)

I think this is because when she feels free and can take a breath and point the in any direction and go is when she is in her car. ]]> 2019-04-17 12:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/katelyn_dimtses/rhd9rik4j85k/wish/352263676 Response https://padlet.com/katelyn_dimtses/rhd9rik4j85k/wish/352263886 Reef likes rocks because back when he would go on car rides with his grandparents he would get carsick very easily. One time he got carsick and his grandfather was not happy about pulling over for him to throw up so his grandmother gave him a rock to hold on to whenever he feels carsick. After that, Reef and his grandmother collected many rocks and had a collection they would sort through. It was something that made them close.
