DuBuis Lane and Faith Lane stood in front of their mother's grave with the tall granite tombstone.
Behind them was Spencer in his wheelchair holding Miracle on his lap and also Joy whose pensive eyes never left Faith.
DuBuis knelt before the tombstone and laid down a bouquet of red roses. " I love you, Mama. I miss you. We both miss you. Today you got another official grandchild. Miracle is now a legal Norland - Lane. Her name is Miracle Jenessa Glory Norland - Lane. I hope she grows up to be as beautiful and strong and smart as her grandmothers and her Papa Spencer. "
He stood up and sniffed with tears filling his dark eyes. His sister stepped beside him and wrapped her arms around him tightly.
Faith whispered," I love you, Mama. I'm getting married to Joy. And I'm going to be a teacher. I left the police department. I'm sorry. It was my fault...... I'm sorry. "
She broke down in her brother's strong arms as he patted her back.
DuBuis said softly," Shhh , baby girl. Shh. It wasn't your fault. It was a lax security guard that knew Young and let his mother in with a gun. It was not your fault. None of it. "
" Sure it was," they all heard from behind them in the quiet peaceful graveyard. They turned around to see DuBuis and Faith's sister Sylvia Cooper standing there before them with her head held high, her jet black wig slightly crooked and a smirk upon her brown face. " Faith never takes responsibility for anything she does. And DuBuis never makes her. Even if her actions costs our mother her life. "
