(Please Print) I'd never had except in daydreams. Then they died overseas within a month of each other and I was left alone, friendless, older than my years without a thing in life to love. One evening a soldier who had known one of my boys came to see me. He had just lost his mother. Sorry for him, I invited him to be my guest. Again I cooked steaks and apple pie. A little old lady down the street lost her son, too. I called meaning to comfort her, and she gave me peace, too. We seemed to be real friends from the first, and sewed and worked together. Concerts and church were more fun together. Someone gave us the names of boys in the service and we adopted them, sending them boxes from home, long letters, and books. The bewildered little girl who came to me after her kitten was run over made my heart ache. Hot chocolate and cookies made her feel a little better. Later she came calling with friends. Soon my empty rooms echoed with happy children playing. Rebellious little boys who can be so good or so naughty; lonely old ladies who fear they have out-lived usefulness; frightened young people facing a baffling world; I've tried to meet them all with an understanding heart. With so many people who need loving in the world, I can never be afraid and lonely. L. E. CALL IT FATE Dear Papa David: My family consisted of my father, two brothers, three sisters and myself. My mother having died when I was born, I was lonely, desperately so, but this I kept well hidden. My father was worn and tired from hard work for so many years. My sisters and brothers were much older and I — well, I was just the little girl that had to be clothed and fed and was always in the way. So when the kind, sweet lady moved next door, I found in her the mother I never had. As I grew older, went to high school, had my first date, Moth.>r Blake was the one who shared by secrets. During these years, my father had died, two sisters and one brother had married, the others were planning homes of their own, but I was in the way. Again Mother Blake solved my problem. I went to live with her, and she really becamie my mother. She had never mentioned anything of her family to me, except to say that none were living, but one day after I had gone to live with her, she told me the tragic story of her life. She was the only daughter of parents who had died within a month of each other of smallpox. One year old at the time, she had been placed in a children's home until she reached the age of 18. She was married at the age of twenty and had three sons by the time she was twentyfive. Her cup of happiness was overflowing. Then, when her oldest son was eight years of age, the flu epidemic of 1918 struck. Within one week, her husband and three sons had left her. The days and months went by and I finally married. .My husband loved her deeply and she adored him. We stayed on in the cottage when Mother Blake passed away in her sleep, as quietly as she had lived. We sent her body back to rest beside the family she had loved and lost so long ago. She had left us her house, the furnishings and the Bible. Her influence and goodness were all around us and would always be. E. M. G.
