A

knock on the door woke me. I got up and answered it. There in the archway, was Jack. He did not look me in the eyes, for there was emptiness all around him. I did not ask him why he was here, because I wanted him to stay.

He finally looked up at me and said, "I'm afraid." His eyes did not waver, they were solid on me. And as I looked at that face, the morning sun glimmering through his hair, I could only mouth the words, "Me, too."

I nodded to him, and just like that, he stepped in toward me, and closed the door.

Life works in mysterious ways, unplanned, unplotted. I always feel God is writing the story of my life, on the seat of his pants.

So is the writing process. . .

That morning gave no signsthat we were about to lose someone else.
