"Sssh shh shh. Honey, stop." The father hugs his wife tightly, "We'll be alright, everything will be fine. His time with us was a gift. Life is a gift. It's not something we earn. It is not something so cheap that we can say we deserve it."
"It is a test! A test of our faith! You appeared to a family not long ago to resurrect their daughter after she had been dead for two days! Amascut! I repent! I was foolish before, blinded by lack of wisdom. You alone can bring the dead back to life, and you can bring back my son! I will be your faithful servant until the end of my days, I will even offer my life in exchange! please bring my son back!" The woman was hysterical, and her husband could hardly hold her back.
Her remaining children stared, tearful and confused.
