Birdie's Nest Page 32
She tried to smile but her chin trembled and sobs shook her frame. “I knew at that moment... I’d come home... to my Birdie.”
Birdie stood and folded her arms around the woman who’d raised her. Choked up, she begged, “Please don’t cry, Aunt Patty.” She sniffed and pulled one of the darned handkerchiefs she’d finally gotten used to from a pocket and blew her nose.
Tad stood beside Birdie with one arm around her, the other on the older woman’s shoulder. “Birdie’s right. This is a happy time—one to celebrate.”
“Aunt Patty, Tad and my family have been my life these past thirty years. Only one thing could have made me happier—to have you here with us.
“Welcome home, Aunt Patty!”

Linda’s Bio
Linda LaRoque is a Texas girl, but the first time she got on a horse, it tossed her in the road dislocating her right shoulder. Forty years passed before she got on another, but it was older, slower, and she was wiser. Plus, her students looked on and it was important to save face.
A retired teacher who loves West Texas, its flora and fauna, and its people, Linda’s stories paint pictures of life, love, and learning set against the raw landscape of ranches and rural communities in Texas and the Midwest. She is a member of RWA, her local chapter of HOTRWA, NTRWA and Texas Mountain Trail Writers.
Linda writes contemporary western romances, time travel romances and futuristic romances.
