We walked in silence from the church to his classroom. I offered him a tissue as he turned to leave. When he finished his prayer, the boy wiped his eyes and nose with the back of his hand. And I also asked God to let this child feel his love and know it would last forever. I prayed he would know his dad still loved him no matter where he was.

I moved toward a pew, but the boy walked right up to the tabernacle. “Church,” he answered as he swung around and jumped to the floor. ![]() “Would you like to say a prayer?” I asked. “But I am sure God wants you to know your dad still loves you just as he loves you.” Back and forth the little red-haired boy rocked. “I think God feels sad about your dad leaving,” I replied.
