Before All Others Page #3

All right, come on.

Okay.

That wasn't so bad.

I'm parched.

I bet you are too.

Ooh boy.

I'm really tired, I think

I'd like to go to bed now.

Of course.

Let me take you to your room.

No, no, I can do it.

Okay.

Let me just go get your bag.

Pastor Russell.

Well hello Pastor, this is Rose Whitman.

Well hello Rose, how are you today?

Oh I'm doing just fine,

busy doing the Lord's work.

But I need some help.

Sure, how can I help?

My granddaughter is staying with me

a bit and I need a handyman to come

and build a ramp for her wheelchair.

Would you happen to know anybody

that could do that job?

I do, I do, we have a young man

here who's been working at the church,

he's quite handy.

Wonderful!

Is he working today?

He is, we had lunch earlier.

I'll just come on over

and see if he's interested in the job.

Super, I will tell him to

expect you, his name is Ben.

Oh thank you, Pastor.

I'll see you in a bit.

Hi, are you Ben?!

Yes, ma'am.

Hi, I'm Rose Whitman.

Pastor Russell suggested

that I get a hold of you.

Oh yes, he told me.

I live on just down the road and I

need some work on my home.

Would you be interested?

Sure, what do you need?

Well I need a wheelchair ramp

for my granddaughter.

She's about your age.

Well now I don't want any charity!

I will pay for all of the services.

The church keeps me

really busy right now.

I could really use your help.

Well here's my telephone

number and address.

Perhaps if you could find some time.

It was nice to meet you.

You too.

It's good to see Rachel again.

Been quite some time

since we've seen her.

Yes, but I'm exhausted and

it's only her first day here.

How long is she gonna stay?

It could be a month.

That sounds about right.

I think I've bitten off

more than I can chew.

God will give ya the strength

to see it through.

Got any pull up there?

I could use some help.

I'll see what I can do.

She's beautiful.

She looks just like Katherine.

They get their looks from you.

I suspect that she'll wanna

talk about her mother.

What do I tell her?

The truth.

You're right.

I sure miss you.

I miss you too, darling.

Hello?

Hello, Miss Whiteman?

Yes?

Yeah, it's Ben from church.

Ben, how are you?

I'm fine.

You know, I actually wanted to help

you out with that ramp tomorrow.

Oh that is wonderful.

Say around seven?

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

And Ben, thank you.

You're welcome.

Dinner's ready.

I hope you're hungry.

I don't really feel like getting up.

Do you think you could bring it in here?

Oh no, honey, you've been in

this bed for four hours.

It would do you good to get up.

Here, let me help you.

You can do it.
