As they gingerly opened the envelopes, anticipation hung in the air. The words written inside were a balm to their weary souls, but the tears still fell. They embraced each other one last time, finding solace in each other's presence. The mother's sorrow gave way to a bittersweet smile as she realized that Noah wasn't stealing her son away; rather, he was the support her son needed to find happiness. Her friend was right and now Stepping toward the boys, she placed a reassuring hand on each of their backs, and as they looked up at her, a glimmer of hope shone in their eyes and she knew everything would be alright and her that her husband would be proud.

the three of them giggle a bit as the boys stop hugging, wipe the tears from their eyes, and raise their hand
