When She Was Stolen-Chapter Four
You Can’t Hide From the Pain
Chapter Four:
While I have spent the last month trying to remain strong, the truth is that I am terrified. Every day that passes without Bri is a reminder that my sister may not return home and terrible things could be happeing to her if she is alive.
Despite my constant prayers to the Lord, I am grateful for his presence and comfort, without which I would truly be alone. Despite being in the hospital for nearly a month, my mother hasn’t even called to check on me, not that I expected anything from her. But I hadn’t expected to be entirely alone.
I was doing my best to follow everything regarding the search for Bri from my hospital bed, but what I really wanted to do was get out of there and look for Bri, but my reality had changed and I felt bad because I was stuck in a hospital, paralyzed by the bullet from the gun of whoever kidnapped Bri!
My days were now spent in my room in the Rehabilitation center where I was learning to live my life, regain my independence as a paraplegic. The facility was nice enough, but I focused on Bri. I hadn’t even grieved the damage that bullet had done to me. However, it was all bubbling up to the surface, like a bottle of pop after it had been shaken.
