"Just your presence alone is uplifting to them, let alone the reassurance you just gave to Eloise," Dad said as he stood next to me. "I never truly understood the importance you are to them. When I was turned and heard the stories from them directly, I started to get the picture. Then when Avalon’s song was heard by all of us, I felt what they meant." He turned towards me and had a gentle smile on his face, tears welled up in his eyes. "You bring hope when no one else will."
