An Honest Fate Part 1
""He-cried-smiled-and-breathed-his-first-breath, my heart-soared - he-could have-
died there - God-is a good-God I-say. Love found me again-soon there-after as I cried holding
him and her holding our picture. "A brilliant love we had then the crash - in our-white pinto - in
our old wet snow-boots."
""I want a sucker." "No!" "Please?" "Daddy?" "No... !" "Please-Daddy?" "No!" "Please... ?"
"Okay... !" "I caved!" - "My foot-slipped kept-slipping off the-break... !" - "Sure you can have it
sweetheart I'll get it I said." "Mama she yelled... !" - "I was always giving in to him - we were
all going fishing.""
"Curious her look then-it-reminded me of the-bright-red catchup-on-her chin and-sweater-when
I first met her-that one time, vivid. "Looks luscious I-smiled." "She-laughed - tugged on my coat -
drew me in and kissed-me." To reminisce is enlightening some friends of mine and hers we-
were all having burgers."
"Love is a wondrous thing, funny-sometimes... like-back then but I find it none too funny given
the heartbreak now. Jamie-took to-her fine and her-him, and I've cried ever since... . I have
never-been so happy."
"Love it comes and it goes-but oh to share it-with gusto... . Fond are these memories-running-
parallel-with the truth - but to have loved, just once - though I-could want it again, Grace tells
me not to worry - Her goodness-is with me-on-this journey - because-my-faith-is-hopeful and-
honest-and so-is-fate... ."
