Patty stared at the chocolate cake on her plate. All around her, other kids happily crammed cake into their mouths while they laughed and talked.
They were too busy stuffing their faces to see that Patty wasn't eating. She sat still, remembering when she, too,
loved all sweets, and chocolate cake most of all. That had changed when she was four. She'd been at a friend's
birthday party. Giggling kids had sung “Happy Birthday” to the birthday boy, whose mother then served chocolate cake. She'd just put a delicious forkful into her mouth when a grownup had asked Patty to come into the
next room. Her Uncle Jeff was there, and she was happy to see him-until she saw his expression and knew that something was wrong. Her uncle quietly told her that Larry, her older brother, had been in an accident. She'd never been able to eat chocolate cake again.
