"(Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound Amazing grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come,
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun)".

Chris sang as we all sat together grieving I still haven't explained fully to Jay what's going on I will in time it's hard . I arranged for a closed casket so Jay wouldn't suspect anything I promised myself I would explain later. Applause woke me up out of thought .
I was looked down at little baby Miracle Jamie gave me the idea it was beautiful watching her sleep I stood up grabbing Jays hand walking out a the service ended . I walked to the car and placed both girls in as I jogged back over to the drivers seat I heard someone call my name .

"Dane?" I turned around to see Kareema behind me .

"Oh wassup reema" I cleared my throat .

"Hey, I tried calling you but I know you were busy so I wanted to come over here to talk to you and let you know if you need anything I will help even if you wanna just cry I'm here"

"Thanks reema" I kissed her on the cheek and got in my car and drove off.

"Daddy?" .

"Yes Jay?".

"When's mommy coming home from the hospital ?" .

"Uhh I'll talk to you about it when we're home okay baby ". She nodded .

*
I tucked Jay in for bed bracing myself for this conversation we were about to have . I took a deep breath .

"Jaylah remember a few week ago when everyone was crying at mommy's hospital? And remember when everyone was crying today?".

"Yes"

"It's because mommy went to her other home" .

"What other home?" She said getting slightly upset.

"Well God told her she had to co-"

"MY MOMMY DIED" she said hysterical.

"Come here, Come here" I said trying to grab her a comfort her as she pushed me away.

"NO, No stop" she put her head in her knees crying. I touched her shoulder "don't touch me stop" she exclaimed . 

"I wanna be alone go away" she wiped her eyes .
I frowned took a deep breath I heard the baby crying so I jogged downstairs to get a bottle as a was making over I glimpsed over to one of the counters looking at the picture of me, Shaniece, and Jaylah when she was a newborn.
I sighed shaking up the bottle talking it up to feed Miracle . I went upstairs took her out the crib and sat in her rocking chair until she fell asleep . I put her down and open Jay's door to check on her she was sleep . So I went in my room to lay down . I tossed and turn trying to fall asleep . I looked over to my phone and decided to call Kareema but nah I change my mind imma just fall asleep .
