"Fear not, for I am with you." -Isiah, 41:10.
You're out of the hospital now, recovering. You get a text from your friend, Ally Thomas, saying:
A: Hey, hope u're doing better!
You respond:
R: I'm out of the hospital.
Suddenly, a voice is talking to you.
"Rachael, how are you doing?"
"G-good," Rachael says, stunned, not sure what to say due to being in the hospital for so long.
"Remember me?" He takes my hand. A sweet, and calming gesture.
"Robert? I'm so happy to see you."
"I'm here. How are you doing?" Robert asked.
"I'm doing okay. Still having trouble...you know...eating."
"I'll help you. I can even spoon food in your mouth, if you want."
I let a smile creep my lips. "Thanks, but I don't think I need that."
Then, Robert handed me a card.
Here's what it said:
Dear Rachael,
I'm very glad you're back home now. I'm glad you're alright. Without you, I have no idea where I'd be. I'll be here for you always; whatever challenges you face, we'll face together. I love you so much.
Your boyfriend,
Robert
"Awe, thank you, Robert. What a nice surprise." I said with glee.
"You're very welcome. Grilled cheese or pizza?"
"Half of a grilled cheese, please."
"Guess it's a date, then," Robert winked.
"Yes, it's a date."
We walked to Milano's Pizzeria and had a cheese pizza. I still tear off little pieces of the food that I'm eating. I'm slowly getting better. I will fight this disease, whatever it takes, and I will win.
