ALTO

Uprooting themselves from their comfortable home, the family heads West for the promise of a better future for their little newborn. Desiring further blessings, they fail to take stock in what they already possess.

Not until the babe's deep cough and foreboding rattling cease do they pause. Awarness descends mercilessly as they notice the incessantly cold wagon, and the ravages of weary traveling.

They say, "Here we will stop as did the breath of our child. Here we will build our home. We will call this place, 'Alto', meaning, 'Stop,' and all who pause here will be awakened."
