Lindy’s Choice, Lindy’s Story #3 is now ready!!! Here’s a peek for you:
Five minutes before midnight, Old Mae stood up from Berta Mast’s bedside. “Robert, take me home.”
Robert scampered up from where he was keeping vigil on the other side of his mother’s bed. “Of course, Old Mae. I’ll hitch up the pony cart right away.”
His twin brother, Reuben, stood. “Nee. I’ll take her.”
Robert shook his head. “Let me. I’ve had more time with Mamm than you have.”
“I…” Reuben hesitated, and Lindy saw the tears pooling in his eyes. “I can’t bear just sitting here doing nothing. I want to take her.” He looked at the district’s healing woman. “I’ll just be a minute, Old Mae.”
Old Mae nodded.
Reuben left the room, and Robert let out a heavy sigh and resumed his post. Then he looked at Old Mae and said, “Thank you. Thank you for staying with us for so long tonight.”
“Nowhere I’d rather have been,” she stated. “But it’s going to be over right soon. And I need to rest these old bones of mine. I’ll come back tomorrow.” She walked around the bed Robert had set up for Berta in the front room. She laid her large, wizened hand on his shoulder. “It will be over by tomorrow, child.”
“I-I know,” Robert stammered.
Lindy’s heart squeezed. It had been a long road leading to this night, and she was wrung out. But she was deeply grateful for the privilege of caring for Berta these last months. She loved the woman like her own mother and already felt the pain of loss scraping across her heart.
Old Mae shifted her gaze to Lindy. The lantern light cast a warm glow over the three of them as they lingered around Berta’s bed. “Lindy, you’ve been a blessing to Berta. She loves you.”
Lindy’s eyes burned with tears, and her throat tightened. “I l-love her, too.”
“Of course, you do, child. Now, I’ll be back tomorrow morning to help with things. Don’t try to arrange anything tonight. Tomorrow will be soon enough.”
Lindy nodded. Robert stood again. “I’ll go check on Reuben.”
“Nee, Robert,” Old Mae said. “Just walk me to the front door and wait with me on the porch.”

I am blessed to live in part-time in Indiana, a state I share with many Amish communities, and part-time in Costa Rica. One of my favorite activities is exploring other cultures. My husband, Paul, and I have two grown children and five precious grandchildren. I love to hole up in our lake cabin and write. You’ll also often find me walking the shores by the sea. Happy Reading !
