PEARL12 Rafe waited till the laughing party had left the yard before leaving the house and going to the marble pillar. He stood there looking at it for a while in silence before talking. "Well Danny, Iz is here and she is safe. I brought her here from Scranton but I guess you already knew that. She is married now with children, it seems like yesterday we were all kids. Your son is getting more amazing everyday. He called her Izzy-bell from the start. I think it hurt her at first to hear your words coming from his mouth but she loves it all the same. Do you know what he asked her this morning? He asked if her Danny was the one that lives in the yard. You are alive to all of us Danny. I think it is great that she is here. She has started to read your letters to Danny. He loves her to death she brought him live presents. Eveyln is starting to like her as well, they were bonding in the kitchen. I can't say she took the whole situation well at first though. Danny you should have at least mentioned Iz to Evelyn but was your choice always was. About England I had two dictionaries there with me to help. Took me forever to write a letter to Evelyn. You weren't picky and would take a letter with mistakes and such. Reading them was hard as well did you see her handwriting Danny? All curves I tell you. I better get down to the swimming hole before Danny and Jimmy run the girls ragged. I wish my wingman was going to be there with me…I know Iz is just as good as either of us, but it isn't the same Danny. I guess it never will be again." Rafe turned slightly and headed off towards the swimming hole and the family that waited for him.
