This story starts with Bethany Hogan receiving "the" telegram from the Royal Canadian Air Force in the spring. She remembered how she first met JB when he took her for an airplane ride. Her older son, Gerald, asked if they'd see their daddy again, & she responded that they'd see him in heaven. That night she went over the things in the house, deciding what to keep to help the children remember their father. In the morning she made breakfast for them, oatmeal & cream. Over breakfast they discussed I John 2:28 & their how their daddy loved God so would now be in heaven. Looking at their daddy's picture, she told her younger son, Philip, that his daddy wouldn't want them to be sad, but they didn't know how long it would be until they saw him in heaven. A neighbor visited & gave Beth a chance to refresh herself with a bath while she looked after the boys, making Beth feel like a new woman. Since JB had been gone for months, Beth didn't feel like much had changed, but her friend hoped she'd never find out how Beth felt. In the summer Beth took her sons to Alaska to start a new life.
