The ride my siblings and I with my parents experienced moving from a house in the middle of the night. No one said anything. We could only hear the sound of the car rolling down the road. We children were silent because our parents were silent. As I reflect back upon that night, I believe our parents were silent because they were in disbelief of what they had just experienced.
