Amazing Grace (2014)
“The beat reached clear down to my feet as I foot-tapped, high and wide, into the kitchen for breakfast. I twirled around the corner, humming “For Me and My Gal.”
When I looked up, I saw Daddy, Mom and Grandma huddled together in the kitchen reading the letter—the very same letter Daddy and Mom had read at home on Saturday. Spending time with Grandma had been as sweet as her apple pie. I hoped the news in Daddy’s letter wouldn’t turn our world sour.
They read and whispered low, so low I could no...t hear a word. With all the excitement of the wireless, I had completely forgotten about the mysterious letter. A shudder shivered my spine as I looked at my family. Grandma usually wore an easy smile, but the way her face looked this morning, nothing less than a chisel could lay a smile on those lips. Something about that letter made me freeze up inside, and I stopped swinging and swaying. I stood there, frozen still, afraid to ask what was in the letter, afraid to know.
