Summary:

Shane has never been religious. But he found himself praying, to something, to anything, to the wind that can anchor every wish he had for Ilya—to keep him safe, to keep him healthy, to make him happy again. He thinks of Ilya’s cross on his necklace, and thinks of his Mom. Is he going to meet her now? Will he get the chance to tell her how wonderful her son grew up to be? Will he be able to tell her that he tried to love him for the both of them the best way he knew how? Or: what if it's Shane's plane that almost crashed?
