After All These Years
“It wasn’t an afternoon for the happy chaos of sharing a meal with at least half of her six siblings and their families. She headed instead to the river.
It was a beautiful fall day, full of cool air and warm sunshine. Glorious reds, yellows, and oranges painted the hilly landscape of trees. The river, about half a mile wide, sparkled a silvery gray. She left her car in a lot and found a vacant bench near the riverbank, away from the walkway jammed with a steady stream of joggers, bicyclists, an...d strollers.
Church had filled her with a delicious sense of peace, and she intended to savor it, wringing every last drop into her frantic heart.
Her abuela, her mother’s mother, dominated Isabel’s thoughts. Listening to the church service in Spanish always brought her to mind. She had been the happiest, most contented, most devout woman in the world.
Isabel brushed away silent tears. Her abuela had been gone just over two months now. Oh, how she missed her! How she needed to talk with her!MoreLess
