actionreactionDay 25 of 31_days. Okay so this was actually from Victor's Mom's POV...? Weird. I dunno. It happened.
No one in the Howard family was particularly religious. Well, not in the actual going to church, Bible-reading sort of way. They were Christian, raised as Protestant but attended church only on Christmas. Once in a while on Easter.
So they weren’t religious. Spiritual was a different story. Kitty believed in miracles. She believed in spirits, in possessions, in exorcisms, in blessings, and in curses. She also believed that sometimes God sent people to do his work for him.
She believed God had a plan for her son Victor, her beliefs only reinforced after he was the only one who escaped that car accident years ago nearly unscathed. She watched him clean up his act, never to touch drugs or alcohol again, but that wasn’t enough.
She longed to see him smile, something he hadn’t done in years.
And then one day they met Kit, the tall Native American boy they wound up taking in.
Kitty didn’t know the extent of their relationship – and Victor prayed she never would – but from the smiles that Kit somehow managed to bring to Victor’s face, Kitty came to one conclusion.
The boy was heaven sent.
