“I understand… I really do. How could I possibly blame you?”

I poured a glass of warm water, carefully slid a straw into it, and offered it to Cheryl, “Here, have some water.”

As dusk settled and Cheryl drifted into sleep, Bryant and I finally made our way out. We planned to head home for a quick shower before coming back to keep vigil. The doctor had warned us… Cheryl could pass away at any moment.

Not just expensive, but it required connections too. Without these, Cheryl probably wouldn’t have made it to Christmas. Yet, Bryant never mentioned any of this to me.

The proceeds from the sale of the house had been deposited, enough to cover the expenses.
