A Journey of Leaves

The lesson of the leaf, as told by Tyron Edwards, is this: "Do well and you shall be ready when God calls you home." The leaves call to Larry Childers when his niece Tanya contacts him nearly three decades following the death of Tanya's father, Matt Childers, Larry's identical twin. Tanya was an infant when her father had died from his war wounds inflicted during the Vietnan War, and she simply wants to know a father she never knew. Larry is later invited to her wedding during the Christmas of 2006 in Arizona, and he and his girlfriend Kayla plan to attend. What occurs during their journey to Arizona and during the days ahead exemplifies the lesson of the leaf, that doing good is paramount in life, and can lead to cherished memories.
