I’ll Stumble, I’ll Fall, I’ll Stand Again Chapter Six

Chapter Six:

I was going home in a matter of days, to continue my therapy as an outpatient for several days. I was frightened but I had my Mom and my sister with me. I knew without that help, I likely would not be released so soon.

I could only hope that I was ready, I had to believe that because the doctors said I was, I was. I was working hard enough at therapy, but some days it seemed like it was far from enough.

“Sienna, you’ll be ready.” Krista said, my little sister had always been able to read my moods, and she knew when I was worried, it didn’t matter how hard I tried to hide it.

“I hope you’re right Krista.” I said with a slight sigh. “I know going home is a good thing, and it’s definitely what I want, it’s the unknowns that scare me.”

“You aren’t going to be alone in this Sienna, Mom and I may not understand what you are dealing with, but we are going to be there for you, when you go home, just as we are now.”

“I know Krista, and I am really grateful. I know that without you and Mom and most importantly my relationship with Christ, I couldn’t do any of this.”

Krista fell silent, lost in thought once more. We both often got lost in thought. We were a like in that way too.
