Saving Grace
“Wrong question, Grace. You should ask me what the half wing of the dove on my back symbolizes. He said.
Behind him, he heard Grace snickered and then she corrected her question, caressing the words behind him, even though he knew she was doing that unconsciously.
“The dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit, Grace, but knowing that wanting him all for myself is selfish, I got half the wing and for me, it symbolizes strength and light. For so long I was in a dark place, at college it was really a rough road, but when I came back home and got baptized again, I decided I wanted that with me forever.” He wasn't sure his explanation was getting to her, but he knew it would later when she wanted it to.
