I Ll Be With Them Again Today 2

"Kyosuke and Tomoyasu Murota are the hottest new guys on the block! Nao's been jiving well with Kyosuke, the older brother (when he's not sending her heart into overdrive with his ""pranks""), but Tomoyasu's another story. It seems like every day, he's picking another fight with Nao! That somehow depresses Kyosuke, who begins pushing her away. That's when Tomoyasu stands up for her and then asks her out, and... Time out. What was that last part?! Okay, Kyosuke's the one I like, but Tomoyasu can be pretty sweet, too, when he's not a total jerk. Argh! What's a girl supposed to do?!"

Nao's mother's best friend decided to move into the house next door after her divorce, bringing along her son, Kyosuke-kun, who's around Nao's age. She couldn't be more excited when she finds out he's handsome—more so than his little brother, the reticent Tomoyasu. Nao's not sure how to handle the excitement of living next to these handsome siblings, but little does she know, the excitement is just getting started...!

When Nao attends a birthday party for Kyosuke and Tomoyasu's mother, she and Kyosuke are left behind to clean up. For the first time in ages... they're alone. Nao can no longer resist the lingering tension between her and Kyosuke and wraps her arms around him. She fully expects him to shake her off, but instead, he takes her hand and... reveals the shocking return of KYOSUKE-KUN, PRANKSTER EXTRAORDINAIRE! Nao barely has time to calm her racing heart before she's off to the summer festival with Kyosuke and Tomoyasu in tow!

During the Summer festival, fireworks burst in the sky, sending sparks dancing overhead... and between Nao and Kyosuke! Now closer than ever, Nao quietly wonders if her friend might become something more until Tomoyasu speaks the words she, he, and Kyosuke are thinking: "Are you guys together now, or what?" Nao is devastated when Kyosuke immediately denies it, and Tomoyasu explodes over his brother's indifference. Finally, he declares war with Nao's heart on the line, but Kyosuke is still unmoved... or is he?

Frances Eastridge was raised poor near the end of the depression on a tobacco farm, with two of the most special parents anyone could have. Roses Will Bloom Again shares the true story of her life, the good times and the bad. She had only one sister, who died at the age of four from Rocky Mountain Fever caused by a tick bite. As a result, Frances grew up an only child. After she married, she and her husband, Herbert George, had three beautiful daughtersCarol, Nancy, and Lisa. Sadly, their daughters were not destined to reach adulthood; they died, one by one, of a rare blood disease. By the time Frances was thirty-four years old, she had lost all of her children. Shortly thereafter, her husband began having cardiac issues, having open heart surgery at the age of forty. The couple then went through one thing after another until he died suddenly from a massive heart attack at forty-eight. While Frances misses her family terribly, she was so proud of all they accomplished in their short lives, particularly her husband. She was amazed by her two oldest daughters, because as sick as they were, they continued to witness for the Lord wherever they went, leading many souls to Him. Frances hopes her story will be an encouragement to brokenhearted people everywhere, showing them that God is always with them.

Are loved ones reunited in Heaven? The saints say “Absolutely!” In wise and consoling letters written to a mother sorrowing over the death of her child, Fr. François René Blot, S.J., here summons the Church’s greatest saints who testify with one voice that death’s wound, though grievous, separates us but for a short while from those who die before us. Acknowledging that profound sorrow at the death of loved ones is appropriate (after all, even Jesus wept for the death of his friend Lazarus), Fr. Blot nonetheless gives us reason to be joyful even in the midst of our sorrow: in heaven our loves and friendships will finally be free of the many hindrances — small and large — that keep them from being perfect in this life. Moreover, the saints say, in heaven we will love and know the love of countless souls we never met on earth, our Guardian Angel, and all the choirs of angels! Soon after it was written, a Catholic Cardinal called this book “a pearl set in the fine gold of the doctrine of the Fathers” and a newspaper declared that it “deserves a distinguished place in all Christian libraries and should be on the table of every pious family that faithfully preserves the memory of its deceased members.” Let the saints’ testimony in these beautiful pages assuage your grief and renew your hope! Let them increase your gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ whose death on the Cross opened heaven for us, and made these heavenly reunions possible!
