herself as the young woman, her loved ones aged. Jim Scantlin Sr. died in January, and Betsy Scantlin's health is failing.

For brother Jim Scantlin, the best day since the accident was in 2014 when he took his little sister for a car ride back to Nickerson, her first car ride and visit since 1984.

“I took her to where our house used to be and took her to Nickerson and she saw Mom and Dad. Then I took her to the high school and old skating rink and pizza place. We took a picture with our shades. It was a fun afternoon.

“She absolutely loved it with the windows rolled down and the wind blowing her hair,” Jim Scantlin said. “It was great.”plain things are,

The earth is enough and the air is enough

For our wonder and our war;

But our rest is as far as the fire-drake swings

And our peace is put in impossible things

Where clashed and thundered unthinkable wings

Round an incredible star.

To an open house in the evening

Home shall men come,

To an older place than Eden

And a taller town than Rome.

To the end of the way of the wandering star,

To the things that cannot be and that are,

To the place where God was homeless

And all men are at home. (source)
