An Uncommon Grace Page #4

I can take careof myself just

finewhen you're not around.

Okay, but this is different.

There's a dangerous

manrunning around,

and Grandmareally doesn't

needanything else

- to worry about.- I'm sorry.

I didn't meanto

make anybody worry.

( Horse whinnying )

Morning.

Whoa. You have a dog now.

Uh, apparently. No

one's claimed him.

Ah. Animals knowwhen

they're wanted.

This one will be happyto

stay here for awhile.

( Iaughs )

How's your mother?

She and Danielcome home soon.

Ah, wonderful.

Well, I'll, uh... I'll

come by and say hello

if that's okay, when

they get settled.

I'd like that.

For my... for my mother.

Yeah.

I, uh, noticedthat

your medical bag

was falling apart.

This shouldhold your

thingsmore securely.

It has compartments within.

You made this, Levi?

From the woodof a maple tree.

- Abraham taught

me.- It's beautiful.

I... I don't knowwhat to say.

Thank you.

For all thatyou've

done for us...

this makes us even.

Even? I thought it was a gift.

No.

No, that... that

wouldn't be proper

for me to give you a gift.

Right. Um, okay,

then we're even.

Okay then.

A sad day, Levi.

At least Abrahamis no longer

partof this sinful world.

But a man shouldlive long

enough toraise his children.

Abraham would'vewished to do so.

It is your dutyto be a father

to the little ones nowand

to help your mother.

A duty I willingly accept.

It would bea great comfort

toyour mother, Levi,

if you were to

select a good frau.

Most Amish men your agealready

have a wifeand children.

My daughter Zillah

knows what it takes

to run a

Swartzentruberhousehold.

A sad day, Claire,

but Abraham is with God now.

Thank you, Zillah.

Levi, if thereis

anything I can do

to help bring comfortto

your family,

I hope thatyou'll call on me.

We have been blessedby

many from the church

who have given their help.

And knowing yousince

we were children

has been a blessing for me.

I must see to my mother.

Oh, please, let me.

- God's will.- God's will.

Hello, Levi.

Grace.

Hi, Claire.

Grandma sent

thisfrom the family.

She said she wishesshe

could be here herself,

but she wanted me to tell

youhow sorry we are.

Thank you, Grace.

- ( Baby fussing )- Ooh.

He's not feeling well.

Really? Oh.What does

the doctor say?

I have not spokento the doctor.

Would you come tomorrow

to see what is

wrongwith my Daniel?

Absolutely. First

thing in the morning.

It's time for us to begin.

There will beno English

spokenhere today.

My mother and Ithank

you for coming.

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Grandma, what're you doing?

You're supposed to

betaking it easy.

Well, this is my ideaof

physical therapy, honey.

It does my heart goodto
