A nurse in flower-print scrubs
pushed aside the curtain that surrounded her bed. “Good morning, sunshine! How
are you feeling, Natalie?”
Natalie gave a crooked smile. “I
guess I’m okay. I survived,” she added hopefully.
“Is there anything I can get for
you? There’s someone waiting to see you.”
Perplexed, she paused to think. “Is
it Tyler?”
“Yes, believe that’s the
gentleman’s name. I’ll send him in when you’re ready.”
Not five minutes later, Tyler was
seated by her bed in one of the uncomfortable-looking visitor chairs. He
witnessed a bandaged face with a bright smile beneath it, but also an exhausted
body that lay immobile on the bed.
“Thanks for coming.”
“Of course.”
“There’s something I want to tell
you, Tyler. I originally asked you to come because I didn’t know if I was going
to get through. You know, live. But now that I know I’ve still got some time, I
really want my life to have meaning. Time lost is never found. Use today as if
it was you’re last.”
