My two weeks ordeal

By hatch1

Well, my brother became suddenly very ill and stayed in the hospital intensive care unit for two weeks.  I took annual leave from my job to go to be with my brother because the doctor was unsure about him pulling through it because his liver was so damaged.  I stayed at the hospital 24 hours a day for two weeks and I did not go home for Thanksgiving nor did I have a thanksgiving dinner.  I reported back to the office Tuesday, November 27, 2007 to discover much work to do in my technology class.  Now, I need to regroup in order to complete assignments. I hope Mrs. Johnson give me a moment to regroup. 

I also forgot to pay my bills before I left and I came back on Monday night and did not have any water to bathe.  I sat quietly and smile knowing that tomorrow will come.  I started to go to a hotel but I said no, what did we do long time ago.  I went to the store and bought some water to flush the commode and take a bath.  It was not so bad.  My brother is doing okay and I am happy.  I have gone through quite a bit this semester, but I am so grateful that all is well.  I believe God is smiling and I am too.  I love being back in school and I love my teacher, Mrs. Johnson.
