A Sad Day then a Good Day

Evan went in to see his father and told him he loved him so much and held his hand and just wept. He remembered what Randy told him, talk to his father, tell him that he loves him and just be there for him. "Daddy I love you and I miss watching shows with you, when you come out we can catch up on them, just please come out." Evan was so tired to just watching his daddy waste away in that hospital room so he left and went back in the waiting room so his mother and brother could go see his dad.

Evan got on his laptop and emailed Randy, "Hey, I don't want to be a bother to you but I went into the room and saw my daddy wasting away and he isn't the same daddy I remember, it's just so hard seeing him. Luv you." Within minutes Randy was on and emailed Evan, "Hey sweetheart just relax ok, I know it's very hard for you to go thru what you are. You are strong ok, I know you didn't have much sleep last night so just close your eyes and just think of the past memories with your father. You are never bothering me. Always here for you kid."

Evan closed his eyes and thought back the 2 weeks earlier he and his dad was at the store and his dad saw this cute baby and was playing with it, Evan suddenly woke up and cried, if daddy dies he will never see his grandchildren or anything. Oh please God let him be ok.

It was time for them to make the long trip back to their house so they left and Evan cried all the way back home. When they got home, Evan's mom woke him up and told him just to go to sleep, well Evan couldn't, and he had to look at Randy's profile first. He went online and saw that Randy posted a video, so he watched it and smiled. Evan commented on the link and said "That was really hot, you are so Sexy." Randy replied "Thanks, how did your day go?" Evan messaged Randy and told him that it was bad and that is dad was still in the coma, and wasn't looking good, everything going out on him. Randy told him that he was sorry and that he was praying extra hard for Evan's dad to recover.

Right before Evan went to sleep he wrote Randy, "I am going to bed now and I am going to pray so hard and then wrap my pillow up and sleep with it like it was a teddy bear, love you goodnight." Randy wrote to him, "Stay warm. Be well. Night" that was all Evan needed and he smiled. He just wish that maybe some day he will see Randy but that was wishful thinking.

Sunday

It was 6 AM and they were headed back to the hospital and Evan's mom told him that if his dad wasn't responding they were going to let him go without pain, Evan started to tear up and he finally said ok. Evan went back to his phone, the only one who could cheer him up was Randy, he wrote, "Well I am leaving 2 see him, have a great day. I no my will be long. The nerves are back shaky again. Luv u" 2 hours later still no reply back from Randy, Evan thought that maybe he didn't want to care about him anymore so he stopped emailing for awhile.

When Evan and his family finally reached the hospital Evan was happy he heard that he is dad was out of the coma, but still couldn't talk because of the breathing tube in his throat. Evan ran to his father's bed side and told him he loved him and everything. About 20 mins later Evan made an excuse to go to the bathroom he had to email Randy. He said, "Thanks 4 the prayers! Daddy woke up! Be on later 2nite. Thanks 4 being here for me. He has a long way 2 go. Keep praying please." Evan went back in with his family to see his father.

A couple hours later Evan went to see his father and his eyes were closed. "Daddy, can you hear me? I love you daddy." Evan took his father's hand and squeezed it and the next thing he knew his dad flipped his hand over and took Evan's hand in his and squeezed it and mouthed "I love you" to Evan and slipped back in the coma.

Evan couldn't take it anymore he told his mom that they needed to go home and all and she agreed. When they made it home Evan looked to see if Randy emailed him but he didn't so he emailed Randy once more, "I am back home, shaky again, my dad woke up at 5:30 today, but now he is heavily sedated. I tried to be strong for my mom and grandma and then after my granny left I fell apart. I seen these lil girls with their daddies and I just wanted to be cuddled with him. I went to see him and I fell apart, he knew I was crying and I had my hand on his and he flipped my hand over and put his hand in mine and squeezed it. Prayers are working! I know I can't do anything and my daddy wouldn't want me to worry and get sick so I am just going to stop worrying and look forward to the future. I will be talking to you, might be about my nerves might be just to chat. I love you! I know I cannot thank you enough soo thanks again for being here." Then he got a reply from Randy, "Hey! That is GREAT NEWS! I am so very happy to hear that. See. I will do. Always here for ya" Then Evan wrote back, "I don't know what tomorrow will bring so I might be all panicky tomorrow night, but I know I am not alone thanks to you and my friends I can talk to." He went to sleep and then woke up off and on during the night.

Morning came early and someone in the town was asking about how his dad was and Evan told them and almost broke. When he went home from the store he wrote Randy, "OK my nerves are becoming shaky again, I am telling someone what happened and I am shaking," Randy wrote this back to Evan, "stay strong. glad to hear your dad is doing better. prayed again. keep being strong. your dad needs that for you and I'm sure he wants you to work through it. it's okay to be concerned and worried, it's natural just don't let it overcome you to the point where it weakens you is all. ah, that is sweet of you for saying those sweet things about me. here for ya kid. not a problem. always." Evan just smiled and wished he could see Randy face to face, he loved him and he didn't even know him but he just loved him so much. He wrote again to Randy, "Hugs you so much. I know, he doesn't want me sick and weakens me. I think I am going to be ok. Love You, I think I stirred up my nerves again I just posted a pic of my daddy. But I am ok, because I know he will be well." He knew that Randy was going to email him so he just stayed on, and sure enough Randy emailed him again, you're never alone. there are good people out there. stay well."

It was almost 2 AM at night, he had been emailing Randy almost all day, but he felt good and not sad, so he emailed Randy once more, "You are a great friend and such a sweetie! I will talk to you more tomorrow! Have a great night and day." Randy wrote his last email for the night and said, "You're going to be fine ;) So is your Dad. Stay Positive. He needs that."

Evan felt loved and he drifted off to sleep, knowing that Morning will be hard but with Randy there in spirit he will make it through. Evan prayed and lastly he said, thank you lord for sending me a perfect Angel by the name of Randy in my life.
