GOODBYE -- chapter 4: Epilogue
Leo burst through the dull double doors, "Chris!" The man immediately saw the young 14-year-old boy on the hospital cot. The boy waved to his father. He quickly ran up to the boy and said, "Are you alright? I'm sorry I'm late! How did the surgery go?!"
The boy laughed quietly and said in a raspy whisper, "I'm fine, Dad. There's nothing to worry about, you do that too much." He sighed.
"Well, I'm your father, I'm supposed to worry," he smiled down at his youngest son.
"I only got my tonsils removed. It's nothing, Dad. And plus," he lifted a bowl of ice cream that sat on his lap, to show his dad, " I don't really mind it," he smiled brightly.
Leo still seemed upset. "But I'm still late. I promised I'd always be there for you!"
Chris changed his playful smile into one of understanding. "You are always there for me. Always!! I won't be mad at you for missing a couple little things. Plus, the only people here ate Mom and Wyatt,"he shrugged. Leo chuckled lightly. "What?"
He shook his head. "You havn't even been out of this room yet, have you?" he smiled.
"Uh..."
Leo walked back over to the swinging doors. Outside was his mom and brother, along with her two sisters, their husbands, as well as his younger cousins. He looked out with a smile, watching his family in bliss. Thankful for the love and care he continuously felt from them.
