Allie Pleiter - His Surprise Son

“Dad got sick, and my attention had to be here.” That wasn’t anywhere near a complete answer, and she was glad Kelly didn’t press the point.

Jonah finished coloring one page and began leafing through the book to find another, humming to himself in the strange, off-key rhythm of his that Jean always found so fascinating. How did humming feel when you couldn’t hear it?

I don’t regret the way I brought him up. I don’t regret my choice. I left because I knew what I might want would never stand up against Josh’s big plans. But now that it’s come back to face me like this, I’m filled with fears and doubts, Lord. I need way more wisdom than I have. I need Dad, and he’s not here. You can be my guide here, can’t You, Lord?

“How are you letting them meet?” Kelly’s question pulled Jean from her silent plea.

“Not as father and son, like I said. None of us are ready for that.”

“So how do you do that?” Kelly asked.

“Milkshakes.”

“Milkshakes?”

“Marvin’s. At two thirty. It was the best I could do on a moment’s notice.”

“Well,” replied Kelly, returning the now-full vase to the cooler. “It’s as good a plan as any, I suppose. We’d better start praying now, and I don’t intend to stop all afternoon.”

Jean hugged Kelly. “Thanks. I’ll need it.”
