Chapter 16

They walked to the main house with Kimberly who was dressed in a lightweight slip dress. The main house was a two story mansion. The second level held a huge wrap around balcony with some of the most beautiful green lush trees, dripping with Spanish moss. Tonight the balcony had several linen covered tables that were combined as one. Beautiful candle lit center pieces. Beautiful chinaware at each seat. There was an incredible seafood buffet set up. Everything looked so beautiful.

Eleanor and Jacob came over and greeted her with a hug and a kiss.

“Thank you so much but you have out done yourselves,” Jasmine said.

“We love you, you have gone through a traumatic situation, and have made it back home to us. We are happy and wish to celebrate,” Jacob replied.

He pulled her to him again and kissed her forehead again. Eleanor glowed with joy.

“Thank you,” Jasmine said humbly.

Jasmine looked around and a smile touched her lips as she observed all her family and friends gathered in one place to celebrate her life being spared. She was richly blessed.

Eleanor asked everyone to grab their seats which had been assigned. Everyone shuffled until they were in there seats. Ethan held out the chair for Jasmine as they were seated right next to one another. Amber was to her right and Alyson was across from Amber on the opposite side of the table. Directly across from her were Renee and Antonio. Alena and Trenton sat closer to the top of the table with Trevor in a high seat between them. Chandler and Nicole were seated together. Alena was placed with Jonathan and Lindsay. Donna and Michael were seated with Dennis. Claire and Trujillo were seated together. Luke, Ricardo, Marisol, Carina, and Kimberly were in the center of the table.

Eleanor cleared her throat, “Jonathan and Chandler both wanted to say grace over our table before we enjoy this delightful meal. So one will share a few words and the other will say grace. I would like to also remind either of them to be too long winded, I am ready to eat,” Eleanor said before taking her seat.

“I first want to apologize for not making it to the hospital to see you Jasmine, but you was definitely within my thoughts and prayers. I know that it is May, but it feels like Christmas because my brother Trent is home with his whole family. I would like to also thank all of his military family for dropping everything to help us in our hour of need. If you need anything please do not hesitate to ask,” Jonathan said then continued, “Without further a due, Chandler.”

“Please bow your heads and close your eyes. Father thank you for each and every person around this table for they are indeed a blessing. Thank you for our home and this sweet fellowship we will enjoy tonight. Thank you for the homecoming of both Jasmine and Trenton. Lord thank you for this food that we are about to receive.
