He has decided to make the Oregon Trail journey, and join the Sanders family in Beaver Creek,Oregon. His dear mama sent him with her wedding ring and advised that he start hunting a bride while still on the trail. Here's an excerpt :: That first spring when everything was green again was like a knife cutting in to the grieving couple’s very soul. There would be no walks with a rosy cheeked little boy who stopped to pick wildflowers. How he loved to pick them! The summer that he turned three, he was obsessed with pretty wildflowers and weeds that he thought were flowers. On every walk, he ran ahead and picked his mother a mixed bouquet of weeds and wildflowers. Irena would breathe in the smell as he watched proudly. She would always give him a hug, and thank him for the flowers...always.
Now thick grass grew on the little mound where their baby slept. Hugh had erected a carved stone, and Irena planted flowers for her boy. She cried bitterly while she patted the damp earth around them. Ivan would never bring her flowers again and beam with pride when she put them in a jar. The ache in her heart was so consuming that she wanted to die.
