Chapter 4:

Jonathan, Mark and Bobby pack Bobby's belongings into Jonathan and Mark's car. Jonathan asked Heaven for a rack to put Bobby's dirt bike on and one was provided and attached to the back of the car.

Leaving Mineral Mound State Park and driving in Eddyville, Bobby asks, "Jonathan what do you know about my mama?"

Jonathan replies, "Bobby your mama is alive but the abuse of your father made her mentally unstable she is a patient at Nehushran Mental Hospital. I'm so sorry Bobby, I'm really sorry."

Bobby pauses for a moment, swallows, sighs and says, "At least mama is still alive and there's hope."

They continue to drive and then Jonathan gets a message from Heaven to stop at another local park. They stop and get out of the car and walk through the park. The see a man digging through the garbage cans searching for food. He finds a decent half eaten apple and finishes that off. Mark, Jonathan and Bobby approach the man and Bobby says, "I'm Bobby Richards."

The man in grief says, "NO, NO, NO, not Bobby Richards, you can't be."

Bobby reinstates, "I'm Bobby."

The man falls to the ground clutching the garbage can and says, "That makes me your father, I'm Richard Roberts." Mr. Roberts falls further to the ground with his hands on his head weeping and grieving.

Bobby kneels down beside his grieving dad and embraces him and says, "I love you dad, I love you!"

Mr. Robert weeps and embraces Bobby saying, "I love you too son! Can you ever forgive me for killing your mother and what I did to you." He weeps more.

Bobby answers, "Yes, dad I forgive you and you didn't kill ma she is alive."

Richard answers, "Oh, Thank God, thank God! I don't know why I snapped like that I'm sorry! Someone please help me."

Jonathan answers, "I'm an angel sent by God. God wants you to have hope. He loves you, though you have stopped going to Church for years. The profession of faith you made when you was 10 years old at Vacation Bible School was good. You have been a child of God ever since. We are here to help you and reclaim the family that is lost and broken."

Richard asks, "Where is Susan, my wife?"

Jonathan answers, "She's at Nehushran Mental Hospital in Eddyville. She had a mental breakdown after the incident in 1977."

Richard asks, "May I go see her and tell her I am sorry and I love her?"

Jonathan answers, "Yes we can take you there. Love can conquer anything if it's given a chance."

What will happen when husband and wife see each other again?
