There's a real mix of emotions at play in this chapter, the heartbreak and upset of Bryan ay possibly losing his friend. The underlying tension of the upcoming funeral and last of all the anticipation of future change. Changes in relationships and feelings are yet to be talked about and what those changes will mean to the family dynamics. Trust the unfiltered innocence of a child to be the one to say something first, like casting a stone into a pond and waiting to see where the ripples go. Caleb's innocent question has opened the door to enable the unspoken to finally be talked about, I think it will mostly be positive, the family dynamics are already there and encompassing Steve more each day. I think and hope that I'm right, that the future is starting to look a little brighter.
