Drabble 8 of 8 (WOOHOO) (And yes, the best for last)
I was wrong to say to basically give up on Charlie. As my mom has always said, you never give up on anyone. Not even yourself. Even if they die their spirit will be with you. Like my dad and now her. But Charlie didn't die. He doesn't even have any brain damage. He could hear and understand when people talked to him, and he could respond by either blinking or using the computer that was configured to his eye movements until his body caught up with his brain. Sometimes when he was asleep his body twitched slightly, so it was slow but steady progress. He will recover.
