Wishing, praying, hoping but never knowing -
Waiting Game
by Begin Again
“Dear God, I’ve prayed for Mike to wake up, to come back to us, but nothing changes.” I rested my head against the pew in front of me. “It’s almost three months.”
The stained glass windows cast a rainbow across the floor.
“Mrs. Jessup?” A hand touched my shoulder. I jumped. “Sorry. The doctor wants to see you.”
“Is it Mike? Is something wrong?” Fear washed over me.
Terrified, I rushed to my husband’s room. The doctor stood behind the curtain. I stepped inside expecting the worst.
Our eyes met. Tears flowed. My hubby offered a quirky grin.
“He’s awake!”
