Jared walked up to Mary quietly. " It seems a certain young man feels very strongly about marrying you?". He smiled at his daughter. " Would you be agreeable?".
" Abba, is it Nathan?".
" Yes my daughter it is".
She stood up beaming with happiness. She gave her father a large embrace. " Yes Father Yes".
Jared and Nathan set the wedding date for the fall when the boatbuilding business began to slow down.
One day, Jared walked up to Nathan as he was fitting a boat's hull. " Nathan, are you going to miss working on these boats?".
" Yes, I enjoy working with my hands".
All of a sudden, Jared began coughing and doubled over in pain.
Nathan helped him up and he sat down on a nearby bench." Are you all right?".
" It will pass". He put a cloth up to his mouth and noticed that some blood came out. " It will pass". He gave his future son in law a weak grin. " Tomorrow, I will show you how to order supplies".
" Ok".
" Come to our evening meal and we can talk about the wedding".
