But I can no longer see you. No matter how hard I look, I cannot find you in this unforgiving darkness. It breaks my old heart a little. I will never give up. I will never stop looking. I will never stop caring.

"I'm so proud of you. My fire starteramy nephewamy son."

Walk toward the sun. See through the rain. Learn, live and love. I'll be here no matter what.

"I love you my son."

The rain fell harder outside the hospital window. Quietly, the power slipped away leaving only the shadows. In the dark a peacefulness settled in. Hope was born. A proud man's journey was ending.

A single breath was drawna aand Frank faded away.

"Thank you for continuing the trials of Max and his friends. More secrets have been revealed. More hearts have been broken. The 3rd act in his story is filled with more twists and surprises. Look for book 3 in the seriesa*Aftershock.' Remember, music is life and love never dies." - Madison Daniel

Doubt can be a wrecking ball that knows no mercy. It is constant and always in the shadows. When I find myself in trouble of being overcome with it, I turn to the amazing and protective powers of a laugh. Thank you Sierra.
