Bestselling author Lauraine Snelling shares a heartfelt
story of a couple who put their plans for a peaceful
retirement on hold to assume guardianship of their young
grandchildren.
Mona and Ken Sorenson are approaching the best years of
their lives. Mona's greatest concern is that Ken will learn
of the surprise party she's planning for his retirement from
his job as Dean of Students at Stone University. They've
already been making plans to travel, spend limitless hours
in the garden, and Ken is looking forward to working on his
woodworking and fishing with his grandchildren. It's what
they deserve after years of careful planning.
But things begin to unravel when Ken learns that office
politics are about to destroy his department. Can he really
just leave, abandoning the work he spent a lifetime
achieving? Mona is eager to build her event planning
business with Ken's help, but rather than supporting her, he
expresses concern that the stress of the work will send her
back into the depression she struggles with.
Then, just days before Ken's last official day of work,
their son, a Special Forces officer in the Army, learns he's
being immediately deployed on a six-month mission in
Pakistan. Since his wife left him, the only people he trusts
to care for his two young children are his parents. In an
instant, everything Ken and Mona spent their lives planning
changes, and they will need to find strength, both physical
and mental, to become parents once more. This is not the
second half they wanted, and when their son fails to contact
them as planned, they struggle to trust that it is God's
plan, not theirs, that matters most.
