“Declan left again, became a warrior. Each time he came home, it was triumph." Mateo explained. "The last time injured and unsure, he expected the one he loved to be there for him, and she turned away. It has to be a hard loss to bear. When he came back to Auke Bay, we embraced him because our lost brother was home, and he made this town and protecting us his life. But the heartache and the scars are deep. He lost a leg and so much more. We as his people can only be a balm...to heal his heart, he needs love again.”
