Love’s an action verb. Nana knew I loved her, right? Even though I often snubbed her for Jacob, a man she never met.
I left him a message hours ago. He finally texts: But all your family will be there, and I don’t have gas.
If there was ever a time he’d do something for me . . . for once . . .if he loved me . . . Is this the action Nana meant?
Nicki calls again. “Reverend’s about to pray over her body.”
The driving rain makes it difficult to see the road to Jacob’s. Somehow, I feel it’s Nana’s doing. She wants me home.

Great story!
One of my favorite quotes is “your actions speak so loudly, I can hardly hear a word you’re saying.” No truer words have ever been spoken.

It really is! I think it was Abraham Lincoln but I’m not certain.

Nana knew the truth of it – an active word indeed. Lovely spin on the prompt 🙂

A guy not willing to be by your side to support you at family member funerals or when you are feeling low, isn’t worth it. She chose rightly, her Grandma did want her there.
