"Your daughter, she's all grown up now..."

Sherilyn pressed her lips together, unable to say "it's okay," all she could do was remain silent.

Galen slapped his forehead, suddenly excited, "I need to get a gift! I can't meet my niece for the first time empty-handed. What does Jenna like? Sis, you've got to let me know!"

"Of course." Sherilyn nodded with a smile.

Caroline reached out, wanting to check his forehead's temperature.
