Jack

The rain that had been falling all morning had dissipated but dark clouds still covered the sky. For some unknown reason she glanced at the clock and noted the time Simultaneously the clouds parted and the sun streamed in through the large bay window Filling the room with light and warmth It only lasted a few minutes then the sky clouded over again An hour or so later the phone rang, “Great news.” Said her daughter, “you have a great grandson.” “He was born at 1:26 pm precisely” 1:26 pm precisely, when the sun had streamed into her room. He brought with him sunshine, that boy. as his twenty two years have proven.
