Treasure On Lilac Lane: a Jewell Cove Novel
“He’d been thinking about it ever since closing the bank box lid over the photo albums. He hadn’t even known they were there … boys didn’t pay attention to that sort of thing growing up. Sure, he’d posed for a few sports photos but for the most part a mom with a camera was a nuisance.
Now he wasn’t sure if he was happy to still have the memories or not.
With a stainless steel mug filled with coffee, he dug the boxes out of the closet and sat on the bed, sipping and looking through pictures.
The ...ones on top were the most recent, but ended several years before, when he’d officially become a Marine. There he was, a few pounds lighter, tall, and in the best shape of his life in his uniform, standing with his arm around his mom. She looked so happy and proud, and it sent another pang of regret slicing through him that he hadn’t given her many reasons to be proud in the last while. He stared at the face looking back at him. It was so young, so energized … that young man had thought he was ready to face whatever the world would throw at him.MoreLess
