The Remorse That Cracked a Family
My whole family rushed to her, grabbing her hands and pulling her into the cabin.
With an apologetic look, my husband, Leon Ziegler, glanced at me.
"Sarah, your sister's health isn't as good as yours. We need to get her out first, so you'll have to wait for the next one," he said.
Then, my daughter, Daria Ziegler, flung a snowball at my fractured arm.
"Aunt Emma's the one who needs saving. Don't steal her spot," she said.
My parents looked down at me struggling through the snow on all fours. But all they did was hold Emma closer and tell me to wait.
