Book Excerpt

Not a Blueprint: It's the Shoe Prints That Matter

I connected emotionally with Greg, inspired by the way he adored China. Perhaps he’d known how draining and stressful things had gotten. Being a caring, dedicated, and responsible person, Greg and China became closely attached. Greg accepted China as a major part of my life. And that itself demonstrated his love for us both. He had been a natural in caring for her, treating her like a princess. When he dropped by, he’d greet her with a smile and make her feel loved. He’d pull the leopard chair to her bedside and read to her—China had been an avid reader. He had a habit of bringing her food, whatever his meal had been. And it seemed he kept a joke or two in his side pocket just to make her laugh. He spent hours sitting and chatting with her. He loved to rent movies and bring them over to watch. Whenever he’d leave, he’d give her a big hug. Stepping up as he had done proved his love for us. China had grown to enjoy his company immensely.
“Mom, he’s really a nice guy,” she said.
“Well, baby, he sure is,” I replied as my eyes watered.
I wanted to turn back the hands of time and wash away that ungodly
relationship clinging to her. . . .
