A short while later Marcus exited the room he had been in with tears visibly rolling down his face. Beaming with a wide smile, he walked straight up to Joshua, stepped up onto the platform where he was sitting, and pulled him into an unexpected hug. While still crying from joy, and patting Joshua on his back, Marcus shared his joy, "Thank You so much for that! I have been needing to talk with Mamaw like that for way longer than I ever knew! Thank you!"
Smiling while patting Marcus on his own back in return, Joshua returned his gratitude, "Thank you for returning to me. Both of us have missed you and worried that you wouldn't want to return before it was too late for you to choose heaven as your soul's destination."
