Feeling like a fool, she sat in her pastor’s office waiting for Nelson who was an hour late. She glanced at her watch one more time and then said, “I’m really sorry about this, Pastor Mitchell. Nelson told my lawyer that he would come to this counseling session. He must have changed his mind and just didn’t bother to let me know.”

“These things happen sometimes, daughter.”

She had been a member of this wonderful church for twenty years. Pastor Mitchell was twenty-five years older than she, and he always called her daughter whenever they spoke. Being that her father was long gone, it made Carmella feel all warm inside every time she heard him address her as daughter. She wanted to put her head on his shoulder and cry her eyes out as she told him about all the problems she’d been having with Nelson and the kids.

Instead of doing that, she put her purse on her shoulder and stood. “Sorry to have wasted your time, Pastor. I think I’ll just head on home now.”

Pastor Mitchell came around his desk and took Carmella in his arms, giving her a warm, caring hug and asked, “How are you holding up?”

His shoulder was there, so she leaned her head on it and let a few tears seep out. “It’s been hard, Pastor. I was caught off guard by this divorce, because I thought Nelson and I would be together until one of us buried the other.”

As they moved apart, Pastor Mitchell patted her on the back while shaking his head. “I hate divorce. But if you’ve done all you can do, then rest in God, daughter. Let’s see what He says the end of this matter will be.”

Carmella was upset when she left church, but by the time she drove home, she had almost convinced herself that God was working this thing out for her, so she didn’t need to stress over anything. But then she went inside her home and had to face her children.

Joy was the first to pounce. “So how was the counseling session?” She looked at her watch and then commented, “With all of Daddy’s issues, I would have expected ya’ll to be there all night.”

“Shut up, Joy,” Dontae said as he rose with hope in his eyes. “Just let Mom tell us what happened.”

Carmella wondered if Nelson knew just how much Dontae needed him to do the right thing. If for no other reason, she would hold on as long as she could so that Dontae could get his hero back. But now she would have to tell them the truth. She put her purse and keys down and then said, “Your father didn’t show up.”

“What do you mean? He agreed to the counseling session, right?” Dontae asked.

“He did agree,” Carmella answered her son, while looking at Joy. And if she wasn’t mistaken, Carmella saw disappointment on Joy’s face. It was as if she had lost all faith in her Dad, but was still secretly hoping that he would restore her faith.
