Adie: After a few hours a nurse came and shooed the boys into the hallway so Charlie could sleep. "It was really nice to get to know your friends better," said Charlie, breathing heavily. "You have to take it easy, darling.You need some rest... I love how well you got along with them.Even you and Billie. When I think about how you two attacked each other two years ago..." We both had to laugh before Charlie started to cough. He had fever, and his face was red like a tomato... It did hurt to see him like that. I couldn't imagine how much pain he had. He struggled every second not to show it because he didn't want me to suffer... "Adie?" "Yes?" "Can you promise me something?" he muttered. "Not now honey, we can talk about it tomorrow." "Please..." he begged. "Okay..." "There are several things... please promise me that you will get along with Nora. I also spoke to her... Please, for me." "I will do my best promised." "Okay... and promise me you'll look ahead, you..." "Stop it!!" I said crying. "Why are you starting to say goodbye now? We still have time!!" He gently put his hand on my cheek, "don't cry, little one. You know I will continue to take care of you from heaven. You will never be alone. You have wonderful friends and... Billie. He will take care of you!!" I felt how the tears rolled down my cheek... why did it feel like a goodbye? "Please promise me that you will look ahead. That you will never give up and be happy. That if you meet a nice man, you won't make the poor guy wait 10 years..." I had to laugh briefly through tears because of his allusion. "I want you to fall in love again, get married, have children and have grandchildren. And at some point, when you're an old beautiful lady... you will fall asleep peacefully, and we will both see each other in heaven again, promised...?" "You know no one can ever replace you, but I will give my best for you!!" I said sobbing. I fell asleep carefully on his chest as always... I loved hearing his heartbeat. After a few hours I woke up because I wanted to get something to drink. "Honey, would you like a glass of water?" I asked him and tried to gently wake him up, but he didn't answer... "Charlie? Charlie...?!"
