Day 17 in Lourdes
NOVENA DAY 9
You were quiet and appeared to be deep in your thoughts.
We made our way back to the hotel.
Arriving at the hotel, Dad pushed your carriage through the basement door, at the lower ground, while Mom held the door open. You were lying quite still on the carriage.
Leaving Mom and You to take our time to get to the dining hall, Dad left us and went ahead to the kitchen to prepare some lunch.
As You slowly pushed yourself up to a sitting position, Mom folded up the woolen blankets.
You sat very still.
Mom turned to look at You, and You returned her gaze.
No words were spoken.
Finally, You broke the silence and asked quietly,
"Actually Mom ... what's wrong with me?"
