“I was just sitting here thinking how much he looks like Alice,” I murmured. Charlie sighed and shook his head sadly, and Shane looked at the floor.
“Yeah, he really does,” she said after a minute. “But he looks like you, too. You can tell he’s your son.” I looked at him to verify this, but it didn’t work. All I could see when I looked at him was Alice, although that doesn’t really mean much. At that point in time, a spot on the wall looked like Alice to me. Still, I’d never seen much resemblance to myself in him.
It didn’t really matter. I was just trying to latch onto anything so I’d quit thinking of Alice and how fucking crazy it was making me not to be in the room with her. Without meaning to, I went back into my self-imposed fog again, and my thoughts just sort of drifted I knew the lack of sleep probably had a lot to do with it, but at the same time, I didn’t care. It was comforting to be so detached from it.
I fell asleep when Shane went out to talk to Gemma. My dreams were chaotic and weird, and I woke up feeling anxious and not at all rested. Charlie had moved me into a position that was a little more comfortable, and either he or Shane had found a pillow for me somewhere. Kallie was there at this point, and Jenny was sitting with her, watching the TV in the corner. None of them were looking at me, and I was comfortable for the first time since Alice had been brought in, so I shut my eyes and listened.
Shane and Charlie were still talking. Well, I say “still,” but it might have been “again.” I’m not sure, and I don’t think it matters. They were talking about me, though.
“She should have somebody making sure she gets some sleep,” Charlie was saying. “I don’t like the way she looks.”
“Her wife’s in the hospital, kid,” Shane replied. “You can’t really blame her.”
“No, I can’t,” he admitted. “I haven’t been sleeping either. Angie found me in the living room last night with my laptop. It was three in the morning. Still, she looks bad, Shane. I don’t want her getting sick too.”

I am 5 years post stroke and still have a long way to go. It’s awful for an active person to be so stricken
Okay can I just say that I’m sending you millions of virtual bear hugs right now? I’m so very sorry. *hugs you*
Hey, i totally love this story it’s really cute and lovely and so well written and I just *sighs* I totally heart Danish. D was really cute going on about her son’s love of swimming and how much he was like A, I love the way the kids are like mini versions of them. Awwww at the Leisha and Erin thing, you must tell me more =) and thanks so much for posting again. YOU ROCK!
I’m so happy you posted again. I missed his. Thank you for a wonderful chapter. And I’m with Loved_up, you must ell us more about Erin and Leisha ;) thanks again
that was so tragically beautiful. have i mentioned within the past week how glad i am to have you back in this hemisphere? cant wait to hear all about it.
I am grateful that you even posted on the road. That was very generous of you since we all have been waiting for this story to continue. God, that D was one stubborn goat and would never change. I am now worried her like the children that she would get sick too. That would not be good. I totally love that Charlie now maybe because he resembled and behaved like A. Ever so loving and loyal to his mothers. So the klutzy D started Charlie swimming, that was funny. Pardon my stupidity, was Howie the donor after all? If so, how come they never told him before? That would be another 5 years worth of therapy. Lots of subtle and not so subtle humor in this chapter, such as S spitting her coffee; “spot on the wall looked like Alice to me”; Charlie smelling like chorine; “the consent form written in gibberish.” Great news about A, I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait till the next post. Hope you find your way back home safely. Thanks MT.
Yay, you’re back and you’re posting again. :) If I were Dana I would have stayed at the hospital too. It’s kind of sad to read about their last days together (probably) and that they are not able to communicate during these days since Al is in a coma. :( I agree with Loved_up, I totally love the fact that Charlie abd Kallie are miniversions of Dana and Alice.:D
This is great and I love that Charlie is like Alice…AWWW So cute!Great Update!!! I would love a full overview of the convention!!!
Thanks so much for the new post, MT! Sorry to hear about your travel woes. Hopefully you can get back on your way soon. I also want to hear more about the Erin/Leisha interaction. ;-D This was another great chapter! I look forward to hearing more about Kallie and Charlie — sounds like there are some good stories there. Poor Dana. I hope she gets some rest. I wish she had gone to the hotel. You are starting to give me hope that Alice will make it through this illness. Is it just wishful thinking on my part?
