Song by Bette Midler .. School is starting up again and I need a good average so I can get my permit… but I say within the next 10 chapters this story will come to an end. My birthday just pasted… it was April 17th!
Chapter 65:
Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fire looked up from her paper and placed her pencil down. Ginny looked over at her. "You still look pale. Poor thing."
"I've decided I don't want to die. I wanna watch my son grow up…." Fire was interrupted by Conway's voice.
"Fire you have a visitor!" Fire looked away from Ginny and saw Conway walking down the hallway with Mush. Fire started to stand. "don't stand little lady. I'll let him come in." Fire put the blankets back over her legs. Conway opened the door and Mush smiled then walked over to Fire.
"They told me you got real sick Fire." Mush kissed Fire. "Fire your Mother talked to the Judge. There is mo way out not even with paying him off. Your already found guilty before your trial that you should thank God your getting. But he already told your mom your guilty and you'll be hung."
"So this is it?" Fire asked.
"Unless you wanna escape. We might be able to think of something." Mush sat down next to Fire. Fire looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"I have been running my whole life. I am not gonna keep on running. I am gonna go to that hanging with my head held high. Because I know what I did was right. I would do it again and again. I was right and one day they will realize how wrong they were and they will live with guilt forever. They aren't gonna win." Mush hugged Fire. "Can you give this to Dolly?" Fir handed mush a piece of paper she had been writing on. "I got you and Dolly and only seven more to go to make peace with and let them know I care." Conway came to Fire's cell.
"I am sorry but you have to go sir." Mush stood up and kissed Fire.
"I am gonna visit everyday." Mush kissed Fire's forehead. "Just hold you head up high babe."
"Hey Mush!" Fire yelled after him and he turned around. "Let Jimmy know how much I love him." Mush nodded and walked away.
