you to live this kind of life.”
    “Jose is
here, with us,” Mary said.
    Maria turned
to her, her face wet with tears. “Si. I know he is,”
she said, her voice trembling. “I can feel him.”
    “He’s says
this life is not good enough for you.   He
says your mother would not want you to live like this.”
    “But I don’t
want to leave him,” she said.
    “Maria, you
will never leave me. I promised that I will watch over you forever and I will.”
    “He said
that you will not leave him,” Mary repeated. “He will be with you forever.”
    “Forever?” Maria asked.
    Mary nodded,
wiping the tears from her cheeks. “I have it on good authority that the bonds
of love are stronger than death,” she said.
    Maria looked
around the room. “Jose, I love you,” she said softly. “I will go to our aunt.”
    “And I love
you too, Maria,” he replied.
    Then he
turned to Mary, his eyes widening with wonder. “I see a light,” he said.
    Mary nodded.
“Maria is safe,” she said. “You can move on now.”
    The church
bells from a distance chapel began to chime.   Jose smiled at Mary. “Thank you for helping me.   And Feliz Navidad . Merry Christmas.”
    “Merry
Christmas, Jose,” Mary said. “Merry Christmas.”
