She was only a young teen waving goodbye to a family she would never see again. I wondered why her, my grandmother, was the one who was chosen to leave her home, to emerge anew, in a new promised land. Why her? Was she the bravest? The most energetic? The strongest? The most optimistic? The family stories handed down told of her dark times and of her courage.

Some Things are Not Yet Seen, But Courage will Sprout In the bulb there is a flower, in the seed, an apple tree. In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be, Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. ------Natalie Sleeth
