He tapped his fingers against the desk, aching for words that refused to come.
He was finally out of the hospital, his physical therapy mostly finished…but he’d still have to go back once every other week or so until his body was completely healed.
He still had to do calisthenic exercises to help his body retain and recover the strength it had before the loss of his left arm.
He still felt the occasional sting of pain…but it had become immensely better in recent weeks.
He’d received letters from Leo and Wolfgang…and he’d recently spoken with Joshua, Jakob, Mika, Riker, and others…and everyone was going through so much.
Sure, maybe they all had God now…but that didn’t mean life was easier…they just had someone to turn to when things got really hard.
Reuben ached to help them…but he wasn’t entirely sure how. Even now, he couldn’t find the words to write to Wolfgang to reassure him that Ryu was alright and would be alright.
How could he help his brothers and friends see God’s goodness…when he was questioning God himself?
Yes, he trusted God…he’d seen too much by now not to…but some days, it was still hard. Even so-called “good” Christians questioned God from time to time…nothing was wrong with questions.
But questioning God made him feel so…weak.
Weak in his faith.
Weak in his strength.
Weak in…everything.
Footsteps sounded, and Reuben turned.
His wife walked into the room, a soft smile on her face, her long, light brown hair tied in a bun at the nape of her neck. She set her hands on his shoulders and bent down, planting a kiss on the top of his head. “Still trying to write the letter to Wolfgang?”
“Mmm hmm,” Reuben mumbled; he wrapped his arm around Anna Grace and pulled her closer, “and I can’t find the words to say.”
“Have you asked God?”
Reuben raised his head to his wife. Their lips touched in a brief kiss. “Several times now…still no exact words.”
“Maybe you should take a break. Your mother’s here.”
Reuben raised an eyebrow. “She is? Mama is here?”
Anna Grace nodded. “She came with Talia and the girls…I think she wants to see you.”
Reuben stood, his arm still around his wife. “I want to see her…I’ll never pass up the opportunity to see Mama…”
Anna Grace smiled and nodded, slowly coming out of his embrace. “That’s what I thought…” her eyebrows furrowed together, “oh…can I help you with that?”
Reuben smiled. “Always.”
Anna Grace smiled, her green eyes full of nothing but love. How stupid of him to ever think that losing his left arm would erase Anna Grace’s love for him.
They loved each other unconditionally, as husbands and wives were meant to do.
Anna Grace finished pinning up his left sleeve. “There we go, darling…all fixed. It was a little disheveled.”
Reuben bent down to kiss his wife again. “What would I ever do without you?”
Anna Grace giggled, and her arms wrapped around his neck. “…Probably be a complete mess, if I had to ever guess.”

Aww, I love it, girl!! I feel like your writing is always so vivid. Like I can picture everything that’s happening really well.

August 2, 2023 at 5:31 pm #152789Thanks girl! That means so much to me! 🙂

August 2, 2023 at 7:17 pm #152800Yay! Im glad you like him. Ill take anyone’s opinion about him because I am still deciding whether or not to have him join the kids on their journey. What do you think? Should he stick around? I’m leaning twords yes!

August 2, 2023 at 7:36 pm #152804You’re so welcome! <3
Oh yes, definitely keep him around. 😉 I feel like there’s tons of potential for his backstory and his role in the story… 😏 I don’t have any ideas in particular on what that could be right now, but I always love characters that the readers don’t know quite everything about.

Oops, I didnt see the chapter you posted a while ago. The Christmas one. Oh! That was so sad, but amazing. More sad.😭 🙂 I love reading your work!

Okay okay okay…
I have this name idea, but it’s kind of “out there.” It sounds a little silly, but as a cute, bouncy girl’s name, I think it works, and y’all know I love silly and cute XD
But I want to make sure it doesn’t sound too silly.
…What about Babs?
How does it sound?
“Everything is a mountain”
August 3, 2023 at 6:42 pm #152915I like it, though it would probably make a bit more sense if it was short for something longer.
Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.

Like Barbara? (Yep, borrowing that from the Lego batman movie)😂 Although Babs is an actual name it means “Foreign woman.” If you are looking for cute names I have a few (But if you like Babs stick with it 🙂 )
Here are a few: Bia (Short for Beatriz) meaning traveler, Clementine, Lola, Lottie, Kiki. Hope this helps!
