Interesting take on the writing prompt. Great story but the second sentence don't make sense: "What if life stops and wonders and let squeeze another miracle?"
I think I understand what you're trying to say with this story and it's a great idea.

Thank you for sharing about this place of miracles. I'm so glad you got to see it with your parents! Enjoyed the story and hope you do well in the contest!
Suggestion:
when you are over forties? (in your forties)

I believe in miracles of faith so I found your story very interesting. It was well written, showing the emotion of the situation, and I liked how you introduced a real place - the Panagia Monastery in Tinos - to give authenticity.

This is an interesting entry for the contest, but there are a few grammatical niggles that need to be fixed:
life stops and wonders and let squeeze another miracle > discordance between three verbs to solve
over forties > in your forties / over forty
an old lady in the monastery that > that is for an object, who for a person
We did as we were told. > sudden shift from third person to first (illogical)

Lovely piece, well narrated. You skillfully incorporated first person narration via Jeff's thoughts. An original theme for this contest. Notes are intriguing; link appreciated.


when you're over forties=>over forty

This is a really interesting write but I had a bit of a tough time understanding what happened in the last -who came? and who is going back with them?

You are good story teller. It is very easy to follow the story but the way to pray is not real. "To believe it and follow it" is more a humor than reality.

Nice picture for this story.

Best of luck.

When you get at the door cross yourselves and pray to the Mother of God for her blessing.
I think you need a comma after "door".
Interesting fictional story. Or is it a real experience?

    It's fictional, I have no kids but two cats:) I was there with my dad to pray for him to get a cure of his cancer, and he got two more years despite that the doctors said he is going to live only 6 months.
