Holding Her Son in Her Arms
As days turned into weeks, Doris began to lose hope. However, one day, she received a letter from the military. They informed her that her son had been located, but they didn’t know if he was still alive. Doris knew she had to stay strong and keep the faith, regardless of the outcome. In the following days, she found herself constantly at her windows, waiting and hoping for a sign. The anticipation was too heavy to bear when a black car parked in front of her house.
To her surprise, she saw her son Bob stepping out of the car and making his way toward the front door. Her heart raced with excitement and joy as she called out his name and rushed to the door to welcome him. Doris threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly and crying with joy and relief. She realized he was smiling too, despite the tears streaming down his face.
