Lydia said Friday evening. “I appreciate all you did for us today and yesterday too.” Her aunt touched Lydia’s cheek and smiled. “It’s the least I could do, mei liewe. I wish I could do more.” She pointed toward the stove. “I think you may have enough chicken and dumplings for leftovers tomorrow.” The aroma caused Lydia’s stomach to gurgle, and she realized she’d hardly eaten anything since an apple at lunchtime. “You know that’s my dat’s favorite supper, ya?” Rebecca nodded. “Irma shared that your dat wasn’t in a very gut mood last night, so I thought this might help.” “Danki.” Lydia touched her hand, resisting the temptation to ask her aunt to stay. It was a silly notion, since Rebecca had young children of her own to care for. “Give my love to Daniel Junior and Emma. I hope to see you again soon.” “You will.” Rebecca hefted her tote bag over her shoulder. “I’m certain I’ll see you Sunday. Bring me news of your visit to Hershey.” Irma and Titus entered the kitchen after washing their hands.
