I Shouldn't Have Gone

Sitting in her room, I look at the picture taken 10 years ago. It's torn and fading.
Dated- 5th May 2007. Time- 15:30:08. Two girls- Mary and Carrie Fergusson spending their special moments on their family farm. Mary was holding Carrie Anne in her arms who was seated on the fences; Mary was pouting at her. Carrie was giggling. Whenever Carrie looks at it, tears well up in her eyes remembering her sister.

"I can't remember anything." she says while crying.

I gulped. Is this what I was supposed to hear from her? It has been months after that accident and I'm trying hopelessly to get her memories back.

She's lucky to have survived. Most children of her age would have died of haemorrage. The accident had left a deep impact on her. Would she recover? was the million dollar question.

Everyday there would be thousands of patients who would come here. We would everything in our hands to save them. Our profession was challenging one. It tested our skills, our bravery. Everything was put to the test. Infact life was a test, wasn't it?

"One day you will Carrie." I tell her, my voice not sounding confident. I cross my fingers hoping for a miracle to take place. When nothing works, miracles are what we look forward to.

It's surprising isn't it? That how an accident can change a person's life.

Forever.....
