Miracle on Hollow Peak SAYING GOODBYE PART 1
KIRAI never thought this day would come. How was I supposed to come to terms with it? How?And never had Hollow Peak seemed so sad and depressing. I always associated it with Christmas and the holidays and the place where I came to find refuge and feel loved. In the warmth of my family. Now that family was no longer whole. Everyone was sad and barely talking to each other. My brother’s face was drawn, and the tears seemed to be uncontrollable. “Mom, I can’t believe that grandma is gone. I keep thinking that I will wake up and this will all have been a bad dream,” I said to my Mom who was in the kitchen doing nothing. I was worried about her. “I know, sweetheart. It’s a difficult time for all of us, but we have to remember the good times we shared with her and cherish those memories,” she answered me back with a strength I never thought she had. It was her mother that died. “But I’ll never be able to see her again, or hear her voice. It feels like a part of me is missing” “I unde
Miracle on Hollow Peak SAYING GOODBYE PART 2
KIRASomehow, she found the balance and strength to speak one last time about the one who gave her life. “Mom, where do I even begin? You were my rock, my best friend, my everything. I never thought I would have to say goodbye to you so soon. The pain is unbearable, and the thought of living without you is too much to bear.No matter what life threw your way, you always had a smile on your face. You taught me to be strong, to never give up, and to always follow my dreams. You showed me what true love is, and I will always be grateful for the way you loved me unconditionally.Why did you have to leave me so soon? It feels like yesterday when you were here, making me breakfast and tucking me into bed at night. Now, all I have are memories, and they just aren’t enough.I miss your laugh, the way you used to light up a room with your smile. I miss your hugs, the way you used to make everything feel better with just a squeeze. I miss your advice, the way you always knew what to say to mak
Miracle on Hollow Peak WHAT WAS THIS FEELING?
GABRIELI heard nothing else but that the little girl was impossible to find. Then Kira’s despair. “What do you mean you can’t find her? She was just here a minute ago… how could she…” Kira mumbled, but never got the chance to finish as her feet became weak and almost fell.“Easy there, Kira!” I said, catching her in my arms. I had forgotten what it was like to hold her, but now really wasn’t the time. I lifted her easily and laid her on the living room couch. More people had gathered around us, and Kira was becoming increasingly agitated.“Please keep your distance! Kira needs to breathe!” I shouted and to my surprise Kira’s mother immediately jumped to my help. “This young man is right! I will ask you politely to return to your homes. We have buried my mother, so...” she said without needing to continue. People were already retreating. I looked at her gratefully and turned my gaze to Kira’s brother.“Joe, please get me some vinegar from the kitchen.” As soon as I passed the vin
Miracle on Hollow Peak HE DESERVED TO KNOW THE TRUTH
KIRAI could hardly contain my tears when I saw Kira in Gabriel’s arms. The image of them was like a blow to the back of my head. They were so father and daughter. I rushed over to him.“Gabriel, oh my goodness! Is that Maddie?” I screamed, stretching my arms towards her. She did the same. “Yes, Kira. I found her safe and sound”“Oh, my baby! Thank you so much, Gabriel. I was so worried,” I cried, caressing her and stroking her hair. But she was all smiles. “It was no problem at all. I’m just glad I could help,” Gabriel added humbly, but only I knew how concerned I had been. “How did you find her? Where was she?” “I remembered the day you took me to see the old church and somehow I thought she might be there,” he explained. “She looked a little lost, so I went over to talk to her, and when I found out she was your daughter, I knew I had to bring her back to you” “Thank you so much, Gabriel. You don’t know how much this means to me,” I said, tears streaming down my cheeks. I pla
Miracle on Hollow Peak MY DOUBTS
GABRIELIt had been a week since the day Maddie was lost and found and my life came back to the way it was. Even now, I didn’t understand this strange bond that had grown between us. I didn’t quite know how to describe this feeling. It was like a bond, a connection that I never knew existed until now. When I found Maddie wandering near the old church, scared and alone, my first instinct was to comfort her, to make her feel safe. And as I held her tiny hand in mine, I felt this overwhelming sense of protectiveness, as if she were my own daughter? This thought scared me, but I always felt there was something more to it. Ever since I answered the phone when Kira was in the hospital in Glasgow. Her voice stirred something in me.I knew it might sound strange, given that I’ve only known Maddie for a short while, but there was something about her that just tugged at my heartstrings. Maybe it was the way she looked at me with those big, innocent eyes, or the sound of her little voice as sh
Miracle on Hollow Peak FACE THE TRUTH
GABRIELThe first thing I did when Kira walked out of the office, was call the only friend I had at the most discreet genetics lab in London. “Hi Christian, how are you? This is Gabriel,” I said.“Hi Gabe. I’m good, thanks. How about you? Is everything ok?” he asked in surprise because I hadn’t called him in a long time. “I’m doing okay, thanks. Listen, I was hoping I could ask you a favor,” I said getting straight to the point.“Sure, what do you need?”“Well, I need to get a DNA test done, but I want to be as discreet as possible” “I see. What kind of DNA test do you need?” “Just a simple paternity test. It’s a personal matter and I don’t want anyone else to know about it.” I told him with a heavy weight on my heart.“I understand. And you want me to help you with this?” he asked again just to be sure. “Yes, you work at a genetics laboratory, right? I was hoping you could do the test for me and keep it confidential.” I said on a slightly amusing note.“Yes, I do work at a genet
Miracle on Hollow Peak CLOSER TO THE TRUTH
GABRIELI looked down at little Maddie, her big brown eyes staring up at me with a curious expression. She was the spitting image of her mother, Kira. I knew Kira would never agree to a DNA test for Maddie, even though I had my doubts about her true paternity. But I couldn’t let go of my need to know, to be sure that Maddie was really my daughter.I sighed,running a hand through my hair as I tried to come up with a plan. Maddie was too young to understand the complexities of DNA testing, and Kira was too protective to let me take her for a test without a fight. But I was determined to find a way to do it without causing a rift in our already fragile relationship.As Maddie played with her toys, I watched her, trying to come up with a plan. And then it hit me. I would do the DNA test without Kira or Maddie ever knowing.I played with Maddie almost all day and then I waited until she was asleep, then gently swabbed the inside of her cheek with a cotton swab. It was quick and easy, and s
Miracle on Hollow Peak MY FEARS
KIRAFor several days, I had a restlessness that I could not explain. Since the day I called Gabriel to stay with Maddie, my anxiety has only increased.Luckily, Maddie was at school and couldn’t see the mood I was in. I took time off work and met Alana for lunch at Jubilee.“I am so worried, my friend…” I said to Alana, lowering my head. “I can’t take this anxiety anymore” “What is happening, Kira? You know you can always talk to me, right?” Alana asked, and took my hands in hers. Her touch soothed me instantly.“You know I called Gabriel to stay with Maddie for a few hours yesterday while I was visiting his friend with this business plan I have been working on, and now I’m worried that the truth will come out. You know, about Maddie being Gabriel’s daughter” “Oh, I see. And Maddie has taken a liking to Gabriel, right?” Alana asked right to the point. Even though I wanted to ignore that, I just couldn’t. This reality was shaking me to my core. “Yeah, exactly. She keeps talking
