Chapter 8 - Home again
Papa met me when I arrived
and we went to the bank. After the obligatory greeting we adjourned to my
office and we spent the next four hours going over the events I dealt with and
made plans to keep the bank safe from the family's claims and to protect our
assets.
I finally made it home and it
took several hours for me to properly greet Mercy. Being gone for to weeks
required me to show her how much I missed her… and oh yes the kids also.
It was times like this I
remembered how I first saw her on board ship, while on our way to America
Now she is a fully matured
woman with a mind of her own. I often think about how lucky I am to have her
completely.
Too many married men I know
only have part of the women they married. They are holding back part of themselves
perhaps for someone else, I don't know. In my case she gave her whole self to
me, holding back nothing, she's all mine.
