They hug for a moment longer, then Josiah hands Dad the book that had been pressing against his back.

Stephen reads aloud: "The Essence."

Josiah explains, "It's not actually my project.  I'm just helping Mom.  She says I'm quite good at operating the printing machines."

     Tears begins to flow again as Stephen turns the pages.  It's the story he had begun before their marriage ---and Cindy had found his notes, and written out the story.  Now this, is the most loving gesture of all.  Of all the unbelievable things Cindy has done in honor of her husband, this is the greatest.                                                                                                                   

     Josiah adds, "Mom says this is the first part of the story, but it does not end here.  It will continue as our lives continue together ---and she is going to continue writing."
