Chapter 8 - The Christmas Morning I Took Back Everything
I will continue with Chapter 1 in the next response.TITLE: The Christmas Chair I Refused to Surrender
HOOK: On Christmas Eve in my Ohio home after thirty-one years of ownership, my son-in-law pointed at my chair and told me I could not sit there.

But when I returned the next morning, I discovered they had planned something far worse than taking my seat. And there would be no coming back from the betrayal that followed.
