Shane looked at Tabbruis and Charmeine then turned around to look at the New York Harbor. He said, “When I was found as an infant, I was naked lying in the corner cold and hungry. Child services said I was well cared for and not abused, but I was left there with no protection or a note… nothing. But I had this dream last night. I used to dream a part of it when I was a young boy. But I guess as I grew up, I stopped having the dream.”
He turned around, looked at them and said, “In my dream, you two were there. Char was there and her hair was curled up pulled to one side of her face. She was dressed in white and in fact the whole place was white. Tab, you were there too, dressed in white but with golden armor breastplate and a sword mounted on your side.”
Tabbruis could feel his heart skip a beat and Charmeine’s was turning flip-flops in her chest. Tabbruis and Charmeine looked at each other. Both with wonder in their eyes, they looked back at Shane. Tabbruis said, “You were there?”
Shane said, “I don’t know, everything was light and misty like we were in a cloud almost.”
Charmeine swallowed hard and asked, “I know what you mean. You were there with us?”
Shane smiled and said, “Well yeah, but not exactly. This is where it gets just out there. I heard you call Tab…Tabbruis, and I heard Tab call you…Charmeine?”
Dead silence was in the room…
Tabbruis and Charmeine just stared at him like statues.
Shane shook his head and said “It gets weirder guys.”
He took a big breath and swallowed.

“Char you had a baby in your arms, and I saw Tab or Tabbruis bend down to soothe the baby because it was crying. Tab or Tabbruis asked what you wanted to name the baby, and Char, you said… Shane.”
Charmeine started to feel the room spin and her eyes rolled into the back her head.
Like a flash of a falling star, Charmeine remembered being pregnant… the feeling of the baby growing inside her… the happiness when her baby was born… Tabbruis kissing the baby boy holding him in his arms…
Charmeine fell backwards in a faint and Tabbruis moved to catch her.
Shane dove down to the floor and grabbed Charmeine’s head before it hit the floor.
Tabbruis started to administer little slaps to Charmeine’s face.
Shane was trembling and said, “Hey Char… come on. Please look at me Char. I’m sorry.”
Charmeine was coming around. She opened her eyes and saw Tabbruis and Shane. Charmeine knew in an instant that Shane was her and Tabbruis’ son.
She turned to Tabbruis and cried out, “Oh my God! It’s the truth Tabbruis! It’s the truth every word of it. I just remembered Tabbruis. I remembered carrying our baby. I remember giving birth to Shane. I remember how happy we were the day he was born. I remember how happy we were to have Shane and to be a family in Heaven! I remember! Tabbruis, Shane is our son!”
All the hundreds of years of pain and loneliness just came crashing down on Tabbruis like a tidal wave. He stared at Charmeine with stunned expression. Tabbruis staggered with the weight of her words and sat back on the floor not knowing what to say unable to speak.
Tabbruis knew Charmeine was telling the truth. He thought, ‘How could this young man before me be my son and I not know it?’
Tabbruis did not know what to do with all the emotions that were deep down inside of him.
Charmeine sat up holding Tabbruis’ arm and said, “Tabbruis, look into your heart and remember.”

Tabbruis closed his eyes and in that instant, he remembered seeing the sparkling blue eyes of the infant he cradled in his arms. Tabbruis opened his eyes and saw Shane’s bright blue eyes… They were his son’s eyes!
With one look, he knew Shane was his son! Tabbruis crushed Shane to his chest with a big hug. Tabbruis released Shane and said while looking at him, “I cannot believe it, but it is true! I saw our son’s eyes when he was a baby, and I see them before me now! Shane! Oh my God, you are my son! You are my son!”
Shane was shaking he was stunned with emotions. He looked to Charmeine and said, “It’s true Char?”
Charmeine said choking through the tears, “Yes! Yes! It is true! I remember now! I recall expecting you, your birth, and how we were a family in Heaven!”
Tabbruis said, “Shane, my son. My God, I remember those eyes now.” He hugged Shane tightly again.
Shane welling in tears said, “I guess you’re my Dad, huh?”
Tabbruis said proudly, “Yes Shane, I am your Father.”
Shane pulled away and said to Charmeine, “You… you are my Mom? That’s a trip and a half!”
She said, “Shane, you are my Son!”
Tabbruis wrapped his arm around Charmeine and said, “Shane, your Mother and I have found you!” They all grabbed each other in a strong embrace.

Tabbruis said, “Thank God, we have found each other at last! After a years of separation and loneliness, we are a family again!”
Shane sat back still with tears running down his face and said, “Why? Why did this happen to us? What happened?”
Tabbruis said, “Son, I do not know why we were all separated. Maybe we will find those answers to our questions. However, we are together now. That is all that matters. Our family is restored and reunited; we are all together again.”
Shane said, “It just hurts so much! I felt so damn lonely.”
Tabbruis said, “I know Son. We all felt alone in this world.”
He looked at Charmeine and she nodded.
Tabbruis continued and said, “I am sure we will find the answers to our questions. However, for now, let us dwell on the fact we are together now, today and in this moment.”
Charmeine just stared at the two, Father and Son back together again. Each of them so hurt by the separation but so happy they were together again.
Charmeine silently prayed, ‘Thank you God. Thank you for bringing Tabbruis’ Son back to him. Thank you Lord God, this is wonderful to my eyes.’
