Northstar Vale It's "Can I get a witness?" time

Jack listened to Towhee while she shared word of sightings that she’d had. He thought it only made sense that if he should see Leona in the vale, so would their mom. Plus, he didn’t think that his sister would want to leave their mom alone. Towhee had been hurting. Towhee had gone through a dark period with this loss. Maybe Jack Snipe was too young to understand that he had been hurting, too.

Towhee said that she wasn’t sure if she believed in whatever happened after death. The boy looked at her curiously. His bottom lip puckered in a thoughtful expression that made his features small, impish. It felt good for her to say that she wanted him to believe whatever made sense to him. But…

-Does it gotta make sense and shit? Sometimes things just are the way they are, huh? It doesn’t gotta make sense to us for it to be true.-

Jack didn’t understand the concept of ghosts all that well. He knew that he’d had a sister. He knew that his sister had been loved, she had been special. Was it so crazy to think that her ghost or spirit might still call the vale home?
