What was a woman like Janice to do with such a spiraling downside of a life and why was all of this happening to her? Janice sat at her dining room table, with hands on her face and elbows planted firmly on the table and moaned, “If only someone would help me, show me the way—how to make my life better! There has just got to be a way out of this!”
She sat there, hunched over and depressed for a good 10 minutes and then something unusual happened..
There was a knocking on her back kitchen door. Actually, it sounded like a gentle tapping. Her curiosity stirred, she opened the door. For a few seconds it was hard for her to comprehend who/what was there.
It was a little boy of about three or four and he moaned softly, “I’m so cold, can’t find mommy, can you help me?”
“Of course, come in.” The little tyke walked in, shivering and scarred. He had on a jumpsuit outfit, with only a light sweater to keep him warm.
“Who are you and how did you get here? Can you remember what happened, or who you were with?”
He replied, “Oh, I’m Henry and I was with mommy but she left me and went into a big store. What should I do? Can you help me find my mommy?”
The conversation went on for, what seemed a long time and then…
She blinked her eyes, shook her head, straightened up in her chair and found that it was all just a dream. She went over to the kitchen door, looked out the window and saw nothing…except for a few small footprints in the snow, leading up to her back door..…Days later, more strange but wonderful things began to happen. Her job, for reasons she couldn’t understand, became more enjoyable—her employer-- more helpful, her dog began wagging his tail wildly when she walked into a room, her husband came back two days later--they resolved their differences and months later she became pregnant with her first child.
You guessed it, nine months later to the day, she had a baby boy and she called him Henry II!
