[Olive branch]

Chapter Ten

It is seventeen minutes past six. I am five years old. Daddy told me why mummy has been crying so much recently. She has been very upset because when I was four she had a baby inside her, but it died before I could meet it. He said that Mummy had tried to grow babies before but that they kept dying. I told Daddy maybe she should stop trying then, seeing as she wasn’t very good at it. Daddy looked very sad so I think I said something wrong. He fluffed up my hair and told me I was a ‘miracle’ I know what they are. It’s when Jesus mended a little boy and made a blind man see. I think he means that I was saved by Jesus.
I wonder if my new brother or sister can be looked after by Jesus too. I hope so, after all Jesus does a lot of nice things and I think Mummy must want another baby after how much she has cried about this last one.
