EXCERPT
Just one more locked door separated me from the visiting area. Another nurse greeted me at the door and escorted me in.“How is she today?” I checked my backpack and jewelry at the nurses station before going further.Daniel, the nurse who seemed to always be here, gave a stern nod. “Not excitable. We’re not sure yet if the sedatives haven’t fully worn off or or if she’s back on the immobility end.”I swallowed hard as we entered the large, bright space, gilded with damaged dreams, disappointment, and fear. The sign out front scribbled something about hope, but I’d only ever been in here when hope failed.Daniel started discussing some of the protocols they’d put in place over the last twenty-four hours, but as soon as I saw her slender figure in the wheelchair by the window, all other attention fled my body as I walked toward her. She was facing me, and I mumbled a small prayer under my breath that she’d recognize me.“Mama,” I whispered, kneeling in front of her, trying to find the focus of her eyes.Her head didn’t move, but her eyes did. The empty brown holes fluttered over my face before settling on my eyes. They opened a little wider, just as her lips parted.Please, please let her say something.She titled her head to the side, her greying brown hair laying over one shoulder, and with a slight smile she quietly spoke. “Baby.”Tears clouded my view of the far-away woman I still called mama. Taking her hand, I smiled and nodded.“I’m here.”__________________________________________________________________________
