The procession was several blocks long.
Most of the angels flew a protective circle
around the cars. I rode near Glory. She was quiet.
She was calm. She was a comfort to me. I put my
arm around her and she sighed peacefully. I
whispered in her ear. 'The Lord promised me that
these angels would look after you. They've done a
great job so far. I have no reason to doubt they'll
do a great job from now on. I love you. I wish I
could ease the pain of your missing me.'

'What were her choices, Martin?' Mother joined us.

'What do you mean?' I asked.

'You have to realize that her pain is her choice.
The only way for her to avoid this pain right now,
would be for her to have loved you with less than
her full heart. But she did love you with her full
heart - you know she did. If people choose to love
in life, when they lose those whom they love,
they will have pain. The only other choice is
to avoid love, but that is to choose to live
in pain. Let her mourn. It's her tribute to you
and to your love. She wants to do it. She needs to
do it. Soon, her peace will overcome her pain.'
Mother's voice was so soothing for both me and Glory.
