"You know why I wrote that line on the last page?"
Mom raised the question.
You replied,
"Because You don't know when I'm gonna get the miracle ..."
"Yes, that's right ... and You know what? We don't have to know when. As long as we haven't got the miracle, we haven't reached our destination and our journey continues. Okay?"
Mom was careful to emphasize that, this, was only a journey.
"We don't care how long it's gonna take us, we just have to know deep in our hearts that everything will be okay in the end ... and if it's not okay, it's not the end yet," she finished firmly.
Silence ...
"That's the plan, okay? You like the plan?" Mom asked.
"Yeah ..." Your lazy smile was back.
"Remember Daniel, it's just water You have in your head," Mom reminded confidently.
It wasn't exactly the truth but it wasn't a lie either.
