Wow! Tears in my eyes. Well done, eliciting that kind of emotion.
I especially like the ending:
“Jamie sent them,” I whispered. “He sent them for me.”
The Red Cross worker nodded. “We believe such things here. He is looking out for you, this Jamie.”
And this part:
Life continues. Love is eternal. Thoughtfulness never dies.
Seriously. Chills, Rhonda. You haven't lost your way with words.
Thank you, Katrina! It means a lot, coming from someone who's talent is so formidable!
