Looking Back
By Silverwolf
Sequel to The Sighting
I still don't know whether or not Adam was actually standing before us the night of the accident. I don't know how I can keep watching Alexis.
She has gotten older since that day. I believe that as she grows she reminds more of Adam. Alexis is now twelve. Pretty soon before my eyes she will stand as a beautiful young woman. She is growing up so fast.
There are times when it rains as she celebrates the best parts of her life. One time as asked, "how come when good things happen to me it rains." At first I didn't know how to explain. Finally something Matt told me years ago after mom died came to mind.
I told her "the reason it rains is because her dad and mom can see her from heaven and they are so happy that we get to see their tears." She smiled and laid her head along my shoulder.
Alexis seems to believe that it was Adam standing behind Matt that day. She also believes that he is the only reason we survived. I don't know nor do I have an answer for her reasoning I just know that whatever the reason we survived I'm glad we did. And I pray that it was Adam watching over all of us and keeping things from ending in tragedy.
Jeff stops writing he can't remember any more of the accident. He looks toward Alexis asleep in the floor. The television plays to itself as Jeff drifts off to sleep.
