Maybe This Life
“ “Mom,” twenty-five year-old Emmie began. “Why have you been so down lately? Can I help?”
“Oh Emmie, you do help, always. I’ve just been thinking about our life. Since your brothers and sisters have moved out of the house, I was wondering if we should take a trip somewhere.”
“How can we though? I am in a wheelchair, you do not drive…and we have no money.”
“Emmie, it is all right. I have enough saved up for a bus trip. I have always wanted to see the ocean. Are you up for it?”...
“I am, Mom. That sounds wonderful.”
They took the bus down Route Nine until it reached Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Angelina pushed Emmie up the ramp onto the most exciting site she had ever seen. The long vertical strips of wood were nailed together to form the longest walkway Angelina had ever seen. And it formed the perfect platform for the beauty of God’s artwork. Angelina and Emmie stood along the two metal parallel bars that came between them and the blue-black body of water that rumbled before them.MoreLess
