(Howie�s View)
I heard a knock at the door. Kara looked up at me as I grabbed the aluminum baseball bat I had purchased earlier that day. He opened the door with the bat behind his back only to see his mother & one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. He was so mesmerized by her beauty, that he dropped the bat. His mother�s voice brought him back to reality.

�Howard�
�What?�
�Are you going to let us come in?�
�Oh, Yeah come in�
�Grandma,� Kara exclaimed jumping from the bed & running over to my mom.
�Who is this,� Kara asked.
�Kara, I know this is going to be hard for you to believe, but this is your mother,� my mom said.
�My mommy,� Kara said in bewilderment.

I watched as Kara walked over to the other woman. She touched her face & hair. I watched as tears ran down my daughter�s cheeks & she hugged her mother. I searched my mind for a name. Christie came to my mind. I sat on the bed & felt a little empty inside. Her mother had come back & Kara was so happy. Then I watched as Kara pulled away & walked back over to me. Christie bit her bottom lip. She looked a little empty inside. I looked into Christie�s eyes. My mom made a quick exit & I laid Kara down so that Christie & I could talk. Kara quickly fell asleep. I turned toward Christie & I waited to hear what she had to say.
