SURVIVING THE HEARTBREAK
Epilogue

Four Years Later
New York
April 15th, 1917

Adele stood in church, listening to the priest talk about the victims of Titanic once more. The same thing was being done for the five-year anniversary as the first-year anniversary. Hundreds of candles were being lit and the priest was reading off the names of the people who had died once again.

"…James and Laura Brower…" Adele sighed and felt tears start to come her eyes. She felt her husband squeeze her hand.

"It'll be okay. I am here," he said. Adele looked over at Luke and smiled.

"I know, dear. For once I am glad we came. Maybe after today we can put this all behind us now," she whispered. Luke nodded and shifted their one-year-old daughter, Meaghan, to his other hip. Adele smiled and leaned against her husband. And for the first time at one of these memorials, she smiled.

The End.
