“Emilio will go on to college and become a teacher himself. The day will come when he’ll be at Manhattan High once more, but not as a student.”
“Emilio?” Shirley didn’t bother to disguise her amazement.
“He’s an intelligent young man.”
“What about Suzie and Modesto?”
“Suzie will have a baby girl in the spring. She’ll decide to raise the child herself, and with the help of Mike’s mother and her own family she’ll be able to attend college. Suzie is going to major in medicine and do great work in the study of depression and its treatment.”
“And Modesto?”
Gabriel frowned and shook his head sadly. “Not long after he recovers from the gunshot he’ll become heavily involved in drugs and waste his life.”
“Oh, dear.”
“What about Trey and Jenny?” Mercy asked.
“Ah yes, Jenny.” Gabriel turned his attention to Mercy. “Isn’t it amazing that snow would fall from a cloudless sky?” He watched his favorite prayer ambassadors squirm and had a difficult time not chuckling.
“They’ll marry on Valentine’s Day,” he informed her.
Mercy clapped her hands together. “That’s perfect.”
“In the next six years they’ll add two girls and two boys to their family. The girls will be as talented as their mother, and the three will form a singing group and frequently perform at church functions. The boys won’t be able to carry a tune to save their lives.”
“That’s sweet. Will Jenny have any regrets about giving up her chance to perform on Broadway?”
“Not a one,” Gabriel assured Mercy.
“Hannah and Joshua?”
“Ah yes . . .” Gabriel scratched the side of his face. “They’ll marry this June, and Hannah’s mother will fight with the wedding coordinator from the first moment they meet. The wedding will be one of the most talked-about affairs in New York. It’ll be lovely.” Gabriel smiled to himself. “Ten years from now, when their son and daughter are still young, Joshua will run for state senator and win. Joshua realizes that Hannah is not only his wife and partner for life, she’s his greatest political asset as well.
“Are you ready?” Gabriel asked, gesturing skyward.
The three nodded. In the distance the archangel could hear music from the harps of heaven. It was a night wrapped in glory and time for them to head home.
