Grandpa Willard tied the rope in one of the wooden post to keep the boat still.
one, fat drop of tear fell on her cheek, followed by several others. as she let the emotions she'd kept at bay at the sight of her family overwhelm her.
how she had missed all of them!
and now they can finally, be together again.
" oh my God beth, you look alright!" anna half-laughed, half-cried. she'd often kept a silly notion that since Beth died a terrible death, her spirit also suffered the same.
but there she was, as pretty as a spring rose.
Beth rolled her eyes just the way she usually did.
" whatever Annie, my hand's starting to get cramps. so if you don't take it soon, i won't offer you another one."
Anna was just about to wade right into the lake to reach for Beth's hand, when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
