Gabe fingered the envelope, touching the sealed flap that
secured the contents. He felt a connection, picturing his mom's
fingers touching the very object he held in his hands. Part of him
wanted so badly to shout his joy in receiving this gift of writing
from his mom, but another part wept in despair, forced into torment
by circumstances not of his doing. How he wished he could make
sense of the last two years. Carefully opening the envelope, Gabe
unfolded the letter and began to read.
... Years of suppressing what I have to say to you has taken its
toll; and I can no longer hide behind the secrecy. I want you to
know I have asked God to forgive me. Now, I beg for your
forgiveness as well. This secret I have kept for way too long needs
to be released from the hardness of the tomb. I cannot continue in
the manner that I have, carrying such encumbrance. Remember Gabe: I
will always love you. ... No matter what Mom
Tears made their way upon Gabe's cheeks. For the first time
since reading his mom's letter did it dawn on him-the revelation
God had sent him, loud and clear: forgiveness. That's what was
giving his mother a taste of peace. Through forgiveness, a new
breath of life was given where coldness and bitterness had held
tight. This was the act that would send that balm to the wound;
letting the healing begin. Now Gabe understood.
