Dark Days of Promise Excerpt
My mind grasped at an idea. Maybe I didn't need to tell them. "Janine, do you think they need to know?"
"Wouldn't you want to know if your father was killed?"
"They're so young," I argued.
"Young, yes. Entitled to the truth? Yes, I believe they are that too."
I clung to her, begging her with my hazel impersonation of puppy dog eyes. "Would you tell them?"
"Yes." She caressed my hand, the soft fragrance of her hand soap wafted to me.
I smiled, believing I wouldn't have to bear the burden alone.
"If they were my children I would definitely tell them. They are your children. You know them better than I do and although I love them, I can't guess how each of them will react to the news."
She dashed my hopes with her firm and loving words. "I don't know how. I can't do this alone."
"You won't have to. I'll be here." She patted my knee. "Your Heavenly Father is always close by. Maybe you should ask Him for help."
"You think God will come break the news to them?"
"You know He doesn't work that way. Have a little faith, my dear. Marshall would want you to do this."
I fell silent, remembering... http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Days-of-Promise-ebook/dp/B009EHRB7K/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1356558654&sr=1-1&keywords=Shaunna+gonzales
