The Angel's Morning
I went to see the Angel in the morning. When I got there I was greeted by his doctor who told me that the Angel is now awake up to 6 hours a day.... sometimes as long as two hours straight! It was the best news I could hear! I was really happy to see that he was indeed awake. It was awesome to hold his hand and talk to him. It was great to see that he finally decided it was worth trying and he kept yapping...
He seems a little better. It seems his pneumonia is retreating and he is getting stronger... The sparkles are back in his eyes... He is winking a lot and is being his jolly old self, the little elf we all love! Pain? yes, he is in pain. Limitations? Yes, they are there. He cannot speak understandably, he cannot sit, walk, or hold a glass, but the Angel is happy... He is happy to be alive. He is happy about coughing--it is cleaning his lungs. He is happy about juice poured on him--he was trying to drink for the first time since the surgery. He knows he is loved...
He still does not remember me, but there is a bond between us. I cannot explain how it started again, but it is there. And that makes me believe that summer will come... and that I can be happy once again with a special Angel on my side...
