Tim and Jill ran downstairs in a hurry and burst through the door of
Randy's room not knowing what to expect. Suddenly though, when things came
into view, they both almost burst into tears as they saw Randy standing up
on his own in front of their very eyes.
Jill couldn't even bring herself to form any words."Oh, my... How did this...?"
Brad sighed and spoke up. "Well, I came down here to apologize and he ended up getting angry at me and in a split second got up out of his chair like he was going to jump on me, and that's when I called you."
Randy looked like he was in a trance as he stood there, barely able to form any words, himself. "I don't know what happened. I just did it without thinking..."
"Well, do you think you could walk any further?" Tim asked.
"I don't know if I can."
"Okay, okay, we won't pressure you, sweetie, when you feel you can try to then we'll be here for you," Jill commented.
"Wait, maybe I can, just give me a minute..."
Everyone then waited patiently as Randy held on to the edge of his desk, took a deep breath and started walking in baby steps towards his bed... Until he made it all the way!
Jill immediately ran over to him and wrapped him in her arms, with tears of joy streaming down her face. Tim smiled and came over, too, patting him on the back.
"I'm very proud of you, son."
Randy smiled. "Thanks, dad. Thanks a lot." **
It was now two months later and Randy had made a complete recovery. Everyone was back to their normal lives, and now had more faith than ever before. Randy was now glad to be able to be one of the normal students in school, and enjoyed hanging out with his friends again. Until one particular day, that is...
"Does everybody know what time it is?"
"TOOL TIME!"
"That's right, Binford Tools is proud to present, Tim the Tool Man Taylor!"
"Hello everyone, I am Tim the Tool Man Taylor and you all know my assistant Al the Nut is Always Lose Borlin," Tim said.
"Well, like Tim is trying to say today we will discussing nuts and bolts and..."
"Hey, sweetie, what are you watching?" Jill said coming into the living room, where Randy was.
"Well, there was nothing else better on so I decided to watch dad's show," he replied.
Jill laughed. "Well, if you want, you could go rent a movie."
"Na, I don't really feel like walking all the way to the rental place."
Jill sighed and hesitated a moment. "Well, your father and I have discussed it and we think that it's maybe time that you could start driving again."
Randy looked at her suddenly. "What? Are you serious?"
Jill smiled. "Yeah, honey, I am."
"No! Mom, I don't want to drive again. I don't know if I ever want to, again."
He then stormed downstairs, leaving Jill to herself and just the sound of his door slamming shut.
Jill couldn't even bring herself to form any words."Oh, my... How did this...?"
Brad sighed and spoke up. "Well, I came down here to apologize and he ended up getting angry at me and in a split second got up out of his chair like he was going to jump on me, and that's when I called you."
