Welcome meal
Sarah offered him a seat at the kitchen table, where a welcome home meal was spread out. The table was laden with Jamie’s favorite dishes – roast chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans.

The aroma was mouth-watering and familiar. With everything that had been changing around him, this meal felt like an anchor, something steady and consistent.
Jamie sat down, grateful and excited to be reunited with his family in this simple yet profound way.
