Chapter 18
"The love of a family is life's greatest blessing." -Anonymous
"Missus Slade?" Rhys knocked on the door of my house, asking for my mom. She answered the door "Missus Slade!" "Hello. What do you want? I was doing laundry and," she paused, and looked around him. "Where's Iris?" Ahm.... I'm not sure if you've heard but...." my mom gave Rhys an impatient look. Rhys took off his cowboy hat. "Its Iris. She. She was rushed to the hospital. I'm suprised no one notified you." I almost laughed at that. Rhys should know we didn't have phones. "Iris? Ohmigod....Oh..." She motioned Rhys into the house and told him to sit on the couch. She sat next to him, putting her hands cradling her face. After a while, she looked up at Rhys, and asked what even I had been dying to know. "What happened?" He explained it all. How I'd run up to his garage out of breath, then collapsed, and after a lot of figuring things out, he found a phone next door, called 911, and rode behind the ambulence in his pickup. He came to the hospital and checked gave the doctor my information. He sat in the room for about an hour, until I flatlined. He sat in that room the whole time and held my hand.
