The summer sun danced over the flowers in the garden at the back of my small cabin where I have lived most of my life alone. Once upon a time I had a life. My husband and I lived in the city. We both had great jobs. My David was a lawyer and I owned a small flower shoppe on Main and Arcadia. This cabin was a summer home and we came out here on holidays, long weekends and week long vacations. It was our home away from home. Life was perfect then. I had a man that loved me and we had just found out we were going to be parents. That's when David had a heart attack while jogging in the park. Suddenly, I was a single parent. That was hard but I still had a wonderful part of David. I still had our baby girl.

Amber was a beautiful little girl. She loved coming here to the cabin just like her daddy did. Even without David, having Amber made life still very wonderful. Then I lost Amber. The worse part is they never found her body. She was abducted from a park not far from our home in the city. My baby was only three years old. I only turned my back for a minute and she was gone. I sold our place in the city and my cute little flower shoppe and moved up here to the cabin where my memories are good.

I love sitting back here in my rocker among the flowers. If I close my eyes I can see the most beautiful little girl in a white cotton eyelet top and denim pants rolled up to the knee. Her red curls glowing in the sunlight as she plays with a frog she found in yard.
I squeeze my eyes tightly closed as tears stream down my cheeks then a soft voice said, "Excuse me. Are you Sarah Rose Sanders?"

I opened my eyes to see a beautiful little girl in a flowered cotton sundress. Her red curls flowing over freckled shoulders. I whispered..."Amber?"

Then looking up to see who had brought my baby back to me was a beautiful woman in her thirties with flowing red hair.
"Mrs. Sanders, my name is Autumn Davidson and I beleive that you may be my Mother."
