Virginia had experienced the power and direction of the five stones; now, she would need to use them again.  For entirely different reasons.  Keeping her marriage together was not the only thing on her mind. Having a child wasn't going to happen in the usual way, and Virginia was determined that adoption was the answer. If she did all of the right things, said all of the right words; if she remembered the five stones in her journey to get her child, God would surely have to answer her.  It wouldn't be too difficult.

 I hope you'll all remember me well. As a good friend, as a nice guy, or just as the kid who made you laugh, I love all of you guys. Even the random people who I just click 'accept' because we have some mutual friends. I'm not going to be around for forever, and I just want you all to know that you're awesome. I don't know if there is a God, or what he has in store for me, but the way things have been going so far, he doesn't seem to like me too much. I'll stick around for all of you guys, and in return, just don't forget me...
