“Aaroooon!”
It was Mother calling. I
sensed urgency in her voice and dropped the wooden figurine I’d been whittling
at for the past hour. I ran back to the
house.
She stood distraught in
the kitchen, tears flowing.
“What's the matter,
Mother?”
“It’s your father. There's
been an accident on one of the boats. A freak wave washed him overboard.”
“Is he okay?”
She broke down sobbing, and thus my little world
collapsed for the first time. I put my
arms around my mother and we stood weeping together. George looked on with big,
sad, soulful eyes, sensing in his animal psyche our great loss.Tags: reflections of grace, book, biography, comedy, download, drama, family, fiction, friendship, love, novel, romance, story, book, novel
