A proposal, a check, and a chance for life

Today was the day it was finally happening and still I wasn’t ready for it. After months of searching, waiting, and hoping all the funds would come through, the day had finally arrived. Of course, I was trapped at the office with last minute requests from the senior vice president and forced to rush out the door. There was no reason for me to take the day off, but it was agonizing to understand the relevance of corporate immediacy when David was in the hospital. David didn’t need me there and the hospital wasn’t allowing visitors until he was moved into the ICU. But, still, I wanted to be able to devote every thought and ounce of positivity towards him as he braved the surgery we had been praying for this past year.
