Remember when you first found love how you felt so good. Kind that last forever more so you thought it would
Suddenly the things you see got you hurt so bad
How come the things that make us happy make us sad
Well it seems to me that
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Love can be bitter love can be sweet
Sometimes devotion and sometimes deceit
The ones that you care for give you so much pain
Oh but it’s alright there both one in the same
Don’t it seem we go through life going up and down
Seems the things that turn you on turn you around
Always hurting eachother if it ain’t one thing it’s another
But when the world is down on you love’s somewhere around
Well it seems to me that
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Over and over you can be sure
There will be sorrow but you will endure
Where there’s a flower there’s the sun and the rain
Oh and it’s wonderful there both one in the same
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain

Extract from the Chapter 19 … ‘Joy and Pain’
…..The doorbell rings, it’s Peter, he’s come to collect Jenny.
‘Hello everyone,’ he says as he enters the living room, ‘how are you doing Emily?’ He adds.
He’s looking a little pale and Jenny worries all this stress has brought on an attack. He never says anything until it’s critical, she wishes he wouldn’t, but that’s how he is, not wanting to worry her unduly.
‘Let me get you a fresh tea.’ Jenny says as she leads him into the kitchen to explain everything that’s happened and how they are all doing.
‘Did you go around to Keagan’s?’ She asks.
‘Yes, but he’s not there. His mum thinks he may have gone back to the barracks. He left early with his kit and said he’d call her later. I called the barracks, but he’s not there yet, I’ll try again later.’
‘Did he tell her about Emily?’
‘Yeah, she’s worried about him, as we all are. She asked me to pass on her love to Emily, she says she understands and she will always be a part of her family and if she needs anything, to just ask. She’s hurting too, for them both.’
‘God, I hope he’s all right and does nothing stupid.’ Jenny says.
‘I don’t know, he’d normally talk to me but I’m not sure what he’s up to. He probably needs some time alone, it’s a lot to deal with and we can’t forget he’s just got back from a bloody war. He must be going through hell at the moment.’
‘Yeah, that’s why I’m so worried, he won’t be thinking straight. Are you ok Peter, you look pale and breathless, do we need to go to the hospital?’
‘Na, I’m good, not enough sleep last night, we can get an early night tonight and I’ll be fine in the morning.’
‘I love you.’ Jenny says as she kisses him.
‘I love you too, …now we better go back in and see what else we can do.’
As they go back in and take their seats, with Valarie still holding centre stage, detailing her plans, the phone in the hall rings, George goes out to answer it.
‘It’s for you Emily’ he says as he comes back in, raising speculation it could be Keagan. ‘It’s your friend Patricia from work’.
Hopes dashed.
Emily gets up and goes out to take the call while they all turn their attention to Peter asking how his day has gone, interested in how it works as the markets.
After a very short time, Emily comes back into the room, her face pale.
‘You ok my love?’ Valerie asks.
‘Stephen’s dead,’ she says to stunned silence around the room ‘this morning at the station, he fell under the train.’
‘Fell?’ George says, voicing what everyone was thinking.
‘They don’t know, Debbie called she works in personnel, they got a call from the Police earlier and apparently, they are investigating.’
