This is a very touching story by my favorite author, Regina Puckett. In this short story, April arises early in the morning, in her parents' country home,  to a dark, threatening sky.  That is, she and her unborn child.  She has an extremely sorrowful day to face.  Her husband, Adam, was a casualty of war, and his body is resting in a flag-covered coffin in the local chapel.  Not ready to face the many who mourn his loss, she decides to trek across the country field to Mill Pond where she seeks solace and and reflect about Adam.  She also wants to confront God and ask, "Why? Why?"  She just doesn't know how she'll be able to face life as a single parent as she has always relied on Adam's strength and wisdom.  After spouting her concerns to God, she did not feel he even listened.  But... he has listened... and he sends a messenger... Mrs. Gabriel.  This is a wonderful story of learning one's strength.  It's sad, but captivating, and reflects miracles do happen, and that there are angels sent to weave faith back into those who may lose it.  Excellent story, very potent, and engaging.  I highly recommend it.
