Road to Redemption

Babs watched as Buster lived his life. Buster was smiling. He finally healed those wounds of his life. Babs smiled when Buster looked at her. When Buster and Babs were walking hand in hand down the halls to the next class, Buster collapsed. "Buster, Buster are you okay? Buster? Can you hear me?" In the doctor's office, Bugs, Lola, and Babs sat with Buster as the doctor explained. "I find this absolutely incredible! Buster Bunny, the cancer has finally reached your brain. What I'm trying to understand is how you managed to live this long. Someone in your condition should not be sitting there right now. What did keep you alive?" Buster looked at Babs and said, "She did." Babs stared back into Buster's eyes and smiled. She then looked at the doctor. "How much time does he have left?" "Maybe, a month or two." "What can I expect until then, doc?" Buster asked. "As the cancer progresses, your metabolism will begin to deteriorate. Walking and lifting things will get difficult for you. Your speech will become impaired. You will get more tired—"

Its three days until Christmas. Buster has begun to show signs of limited mobility. He is out of school for Christmas vacation and Babs is now living with him. "Babs," Buster asked weakly, "Do you believe in God?" Babs answered, "Yes, I do." "Do you think he is looking down on us right now, at this minute?" "Yes, why?" "I just wanted to know if I was in good hands." "You are. You're in my hands and I am going to take care of you." "Do you love me, Babsey?" "Yes." "Will you love me for the rest of my life?" "No, I'm gonna love you for the rest of mine."



Note the hospital scene is taken from the movie, 'My Life' and the lines: "will you love me for the rest of my life? No, I'm gonna love you for the rest of mine," is from the movie, 'Phenomenon'.
