Chapter Eight:
Going home meant a change in my life, because I was going to be homeschooled for some of the year, until I was strong enough to go to school again. I was getting stronger, strong enough to go home, though I wasn’t sure if I’d have the courage to sit in on dance class again or maybe even dance. It had been new to me the day after the accident, but I liked it.
The room had slowly been emptied of my belongings, soon someone else would move into it, someone who had been hurt or was sick. Thinking about all the reasons someone could be in the hospital made me thankful I was strong enough to go home. There was a bittersweet feeling though, since home meant new challenges.
“I won’t miss the hospital food.” Alyssa said, which made me chuckle. She really wasn’t eating the hospital food; she had aversions to certain foods.
“You weren’t the one in the hospital, and I am glad you weren’t.” I said. The thought of my sister in the hospital, hurt or sick, made me shudder.
Lord, thank you for enabling me to go home, and I pray that you grant me continued strength and courage. I know I will face challenges, but I am grateful that I’ve made it this far. I love and thank you, Lord.
