My CEO 135

135 Coming Back To Life (Jayden)

The next day, Winona brings Abby back to the hospital to see me. I can't describe the feeling of actually seeing my little girl again, not just hearing her. The pure joy in her eyes as she runs over to me.

"Daddy!" Abby's voice is filled with excitement as she hops onto the bed, careful not to disturb any of the tubes or monitors. "You're awake!"

"Hey there, princess," I say, my voice hoarse but full of love. "I missed seeing you so much."

Winona stands nearby, her eyes soft as she watches us. "She's been so excited to talk to you."

I manage a weak smile. "Me too. It's so good."

Abby cuddles up next to me, her small hand gripping mine.

As Abby chatters away about her latest adventures, I find myself feeling grateful. This is what I'm fighting for-a future with my family..

Abby talks about her drawings and the fun she's having with Nanny Anne and Grandma Judy. "Mommy and I made cookies yesterday. I saved some for you, Daddy. But then I ate them because I thought you wouldn't get home soon and they would be yuck." I laugh softly, my heart swelling with love. "That's okay, sweetheart. I'm just glad you're having fun."

When Abby goes to do some coloring at the activity table the nurses set up for her, I take the time to discuss things with Winona.
