It's been a few days since Hallelujah floated up to Heaven. The world is just as she had said it would be. The world is in mourning.

Mourning a little girl that they didn't know until they saw her on the TV news with Genevieve. It's amazing the impact she had in that short time. Not just in the lives of the people that knew her, but even in the lives of strangers. People who live on the other side of the world.

Whether it's because of what she said or what she was wearing, it didn't matter. She still made a difference.

In Central City, Caitlin Snow was planning a trip to National City, so she was packing. Suddenly there was a knock on her front door.

She answered the door to find Joe West standing on the other side.

"So you're alive." Joe uttered, "Nice of you to call and let us know."

Sure she hadn't been to work in the last few day, and she knew that her friends would come to check on her, or send Joe to check on her eventually, but she didn't expect it to be this soon.

Caitlin let out a breath, "I was going to call. I just...I've had a lot on my mind with everything that's happened recently."

"Oh yeah, the event that took place in National City a few days ago and what's happening now as a result." Joe replied, "It's kind of crazy."

Caitlin nodded, "It's actually why I'm going to National City."

Joe stepped inside of the apartment, "I'm sorry? What?"

"Yeah. Um...I've been studying with David and his people for a while, and since Charlie just lost her daughter, I thought I'd pay them a visit."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

Caitlin shrugged, "I didn't think you'd understand, but I suppose you understand now. Right?"

He shook his head, "Not really, but I support your right to believe something even if I don't understand."

"Thank you." Caitlin said, "I'm actually heading out in a couple hours. Wanna come?"

"Nah." Joe told her, pulling her into a hug, "I wish you felt like you could have trusted me though."

Caitlin hugged him back, "Thanks Joe."

Meanwhile in National City, so many people had come to hear David and learn the seven seals that it wasn't even possible to fit them all in Mount Carmel. So David and everyone were outside. There was a sound system set up and David had to speak into a microphone just so everyone could hear him.

People had come from all over to learn the seven seals, and it was everything that David had ever wanted. He wanted everyone to learn the truth and be saved.

He missed his daughter, but he knew that he would see her again. And in the meantime, her death, her sacrifice, was bringing people to God. It was bringing them in to learning the truth.

Hallelujah may have only lived for seven years, but she had touched a lot of lives. She had changed the hearts of many. He couldn't have been more proud of his daughter. She had lived her life and no she was in Heaven with The Father. Now it was up to him to keep teaching, so that he may join her in the end time.

However, inside of Mount Carmel, Charlie hadn't stopped crying since Hallelujah had left, floating up to Heaven. Charlie usually loved teaching the music lessons, but right now she didn't feel like it. She just felt so alone...

but she wasn't alone. Charlie hadn't been alone for a moment since losing her daughter. At least one of the other mothers, or some other adult, was always there with her, and the even the children were always made sure to check on her. Everyone was so kind. Just loving on Charlie, even though, she knew that they missed Hallelujah too.

Right now, Charlie had 51 year old Dave Jones and 31 year old Shari Doyle sitting with her.

Shari was practically cuddled up right beside Charlie, her arms wrapped around Charlie, hugging her.

"We're all here for you, Charlie." Shari said

Charlie didn't say anything. She was just relishing in the hug, as she leaned against Shari with her left hand extended towards Dave, holding his hand.

Dave rubbed the back of Charlie's hand with his thumb, "We don't have to be sad. Halle's happy. She's happy in Heaven with the Father who sits on the throne. This isn't goodbye. We'll see her again."

Charlie sniffled, "I know. I know. But...she was my baby. The one I never thought I'd have."

It was selfish of her to thing this right not, but Charlie wished it hadn't been her daughter. Her child. She wished it had been one of David's other children.

Logically, she knew it couldn't have been any of the other children. None of David's other children had a Fate for a mother, but right now Charlie just wanted her daughter.

"It's all my fault." Charlie cried, "I never should have come with you guys all those years ago."

"No. No. Don't say that. If you hadn't come with us, Halle wouldn't have been born." Shari replied, "You were supposed to be here. This was all ordained by God. Just because we don't understand His plan..."

Charlie nodded, interrupting Shari, "I know. I didn't mean it. I'm just sad."

1 Corinthians 1:25 - Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

"It's okay to be sad. It's okay to grief." Dave added, "For a short time. Then we need to rejoice and thank God for the time we had with Halle. Otherwise we risk growing bitter."

"Thanks for being here with me. For helping me through my grief." Charlie uttered, "You've all been so supportive. Even while struggling with your own grief."

Shari laid her head on Charlie's shoulder, "No one misses Halle more than you."
