| 43. Divine Intervention 7:14 am Paul was talking again. She could feel his kiss. How she longed to kiss him now! The voice called her again. �I�m not ready for you yet. Someone else needs you.� The light disappeared as the voice faded out. A warm sensation flooded her body, the numbness trickling away. A flash of light appeared as she floated back down. 44. Perfect Day Paul anxiously awaited the doctor to get it over with and tell him that Meg had died. The reality was numbing him to the point of not being afraid anymore. He heard laughing and talking and looked up. Dr. Underwood and four nurses were walking down the hall. My wife has just died and they�re laughing? �Mr. Sterling! Mr. Sterling!� Paul frowned and stood up. �What?� �I don�t believe it! We went in for surgery and all that cancer�it was gone! Every inch! I�ve never seen it happen before! It�s like she never had it at all!� He couldn�t breathe. �Is this a joke?� �Mr. Sterling, I wouldn�t joke about something like this! Meg�s alive and she�s probably got many more years to live!� �Alive? I don�t believe�� �I don�t either! Do you want to see her?� �Yes, yes!� Paul breathed. The two hurried down the hall to the operating room. Out of nowhere, a familiar song loomed in his mind. A song that meant so much more to him now, more than ever. She was alive�alive. Even on this imperfect day, this long-dreaded and doomed day�she was alive. �On a perfect day, I know that I can count on you. When that�s not possible, Tell me can you weather the storm? Cause I need somebody Who will stand by me, Through the good times and bad times She will always, Always be right there� �Sunny days, Everybody loves them. But tell me, Can you stand the rain? Storms will come, This we know for sure But, tell me, Can you stand the rain?� |
