When my daughter Jane suddenly asked to leave my grandson with me, I felt uneasy. Later, when I checked his suitcase for a change of clothes, I found items for multiple seasons, medical supplies, and a large envelope of cash. Jane wasn’t planning to come back soon.
Days went by, and her phone calls went unanswered. Then, she finally video-called, looking exhausted and apologetic, claiming she was on a “secret work mission” but refusing to share more. My worry only grew.
Over the weeks, I kept life normal for Tommy while fearing Jane might never return. When she finally came back, she looked weary and grateful but gave few answers, keeping her secrets close. As she drove off with Tommy, I knew her path was shadowed by secrets, but I prayed for their safety, hoping she could keep her promises.
