He even found himself sharing with his family the revelations that came from the Word. They were shocked by the depth of the revelations because no one knew that his wife kept such things hidden from the world. His wife’s family was shocked too by photographs, letters, and dreams she had never shared with them.

Still, through these discoveries, he was beginning to find a new kind of bond to her-one that went beyond his brief time with her.
