THE FINAL CHAPTER : A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY (Sept 2009 to Jan 2010)
At the Grotto of Our Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes
Daniel (14+ years old) (Thursday 17/9/2009)
Day 8 in Lourdes
6th day in Hospital (Pao) (afternoon)
Dad asked your doctor about your headrush. The doctor said that You could be experiencing low pressure for awhile. He made it sound like it was something that could go away gradually.
We did not ask further. We were too happy. The doctor then said that arrangements were being made to send You back to Lourdes Hospital.
Mom could not wait to tell You the good news.
She burst into your room, all excited, and blurted, "Daniel, guess what?"
You turned to look at your mother.
The words came tumbling out of her mouth after that.
"Your doctor said that everything is normal. You're gonna get better. The headrush is normal, it's the low pressure. It'd go off soon ... We're going back to Lourdes ..."
You face lit up as You gave a wide smile.
For a moment, the multiples were forgotten.
Forgotten by Mom.
As for You - You were not aware of their existence.
You never would ... and never will ... if Mom had her way.
She was determined to hassle God and beg Him to take that away. Yup, that would seem to be the plan for now. She has no other option but beg The Almighty to spare her Son.
At the airport waiting for our flight to France (Sept 2009).
