She flies down to Florida to visit her and condolence her over the loss of Peter, Edith's husband. ]]> 2018-02-14 14:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231508591 madelineziebell21 https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231512268 Irene gets to Florida and sees her grandma. They go back to her house and Edith won't talk to Irene. She is super upset. Irene tries to cheer her up with her bright spirit but nothing will work. Eventually Irene decided to leave her grandma alone and let Edith come to her. Eventually Edith asks Irene if she would like to help her clean out the attic. Irene is happy to help out. While going through Peters old boxes, Irene finds a huge box of journals.She takes one out and sees Edith watching her while crying. ]]> 2018-02-14 14:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231512268 madelineziebell21 https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231754754 Irene asks her grandma if she is ok and Edith just asks for her to put them back in the box and close it. Irene does and goes back to looking for old things of Peters that Edith may or may not want. 

Later when they are done looking through the boxes Irene goes to bed. Edith is sleeping and Irene gets bored. She quietly goes up into the attic to find the journals. She begins to read them. Irene is horrified by what she was reading. Her grandparents survived the Holocaust. ]]> 2018-02-15 00:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231754754 madelineziebell21 https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231755273 Irene decides she needs to speak out a little bit. She goes to her grandma about the journals and asks her multiple questions. Edith is upset with how Irene read the journals but decides to inform her about what happened. Irene asked if she could share Edith's stories and she allowed her too. ]]> 2018-02-15 00:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231755273 madelineziebell21 https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231755483 Irene speaks out to the point that her voice is heard. Irene is happy she did this before her grandma. Now Edith is satisfied to die a peaceful death. She won't be reminded of how tragic Peters death was to her because of how he had to go first. He saved her life, and she is totally grateful for that. 
...Irene hears the bell ring. Class was dismissed. She was free to go home and have her now grown dog stumble over his paws and greet her. She could see her mom making dinner. And remember how life can be full of tragedy, yet can be the most beautiful, happiest thing anyone could ever discover.]]> 2018-02-15 00:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/madelineziebell21/uha0ll4sqcgb/wish/231755483
