The children’s laughter echoed through the park as Liam watched them swing. His heart swelled, a feeling of warmth spreading through his chest. His sister had called. His grandmother was selling the old family bible. Liam, standing there, felt light, buoyed.

He turned toward the setting sun, a fiery orb painting the sky with brilliant hues. He had made a life, a beautiful life. He had built it on love and the joy of raising children.

He felt the gentle breeze on his face, the soft touch a caress. He knew the stories, the lessons, the values the bible contained. He didn't need the book itself. He carried his grandmother's faith within him. He was ready for the next adventure.
