Georgia On My Mind (34 page)

As laughter rippled through the audience, Georgie concluded by saying, “I’m reminded of something Nathan once said about what he learned from a loss in his life. He said it so eloquently, and I hope I’m remembering it correctly. It was something like this: Life is short, love is sweet, regrets either make you or break you, and nothing lasts forever. Thanks to the time I spent here, I’m able to move forward with no regrets. My mother’s life was far too short, but today you’ve ensured that her legacy will live on forever. Thank you so much for that.”

The audience once again surged to their feet in applause.

Georgie started down the stairs.

Nathan met her at the bottom and lifted her into a hug.

Finally, she had found her way home.
