The next day was a weekend . Gary took Guaiguai to the gravesite . Guaiguai pulled a stack of letters from her bag . A thick envelope was tucked among several thin ones . I couldn't help sighing : " It really stands out , Guaiguai . " Gary glanced at her a few more times before asking lightly . " Wrote this many for Mom ? " He reached for the envelope . Guaiguai clutched it tightly in her hands . " Yeah ... missed her . " Her nod was stiff , words coming out flat . Gary didn't insist , just asked casually . " This one's thick . What's inside ? Test papers ? " Guaiguai looked up at him , surprised . " Need parental signature ? " Amusement colored Gary's tone . Her eyes widened further , thoughts plain on her face .

The doorbell rang , and Chrissy quickly turned her head . " Dad , that must be him . I asked him to come over . " Gary led the boy to sit down .

Sitting beside Gary , I suddenly recalled my own fluttering heart at sixteen when first love bloomed . Gary gave Christine a nod . " I respect your decision .

Reaching out to stroke Christine's hair , my fingertips passed through her strands . " My girl won't miss her chance like I did . That's good . " I followed Gary into the study , watching as he revisited the letter I'd left years ago . " Jessica , she's as brave as you were . She'll find happiness , won't she ?
