''We're moving to North Carolina? But why? When?'' Sarai asked as she and Kammie walked in from outside and overheard Sarai's mother, Carli, talking to her father, Darin, tears welling up in both of their eyes.''Sarai, Dr. Bruce said your asthma is getting worse and we need to be out of here before winter comes,'' her mother said.''But I don t want to move that far away. What about Kammie? I don't want to leave her!'' Sarai choked back the tears as she and Kammie held on to each other in disbelief. Kammie's eyes were wide as the tears started rolling down her face.''Kammie can come visit during the holidays and anytime she wants,'' Sarai's mother said, and she gave them both a big hug, knowing what the separation would do to them. Sarai and Kammie cried until the day the moving truck pulled away.
