Journeys

August 12, 2009

 Dr. Casper was shaking his head. He looked around at all of us that were in Jessie's room. 

"She seems healthy as is possible. All her vitals are great. Her colour is back. Her appetite is amazing." 

He turned to Dr. Warren.

"If I were not a doctor, I would say this was a miracle." 

 "Miracle is a little strong," Gerald said, coyly, "but I believe there were angels involved." 

 Dr. Casper laughed slightly. 

"I did some internet research. It seems that Maynard's Rock has quite a name." 

 I spoke up. "We are quite proud of our little village, Dr. Casper." 

 "Ghost capital of Canada?" He quipped. 

 "I heard that rumour as well. What people won't say?" 

I was shaking my head and making light of the conversation, but he did not seem to be buying it. 

 Dr. Casper gave me a strange look. 

 "Surely you don't believe in ghosts, doctor?" I asked him. 

 Dr. Casper laughed.

 "After what I have seen the last few days, I will believe just about anything." 

 As we spoke Whisper came into the room. 

"Robbie can go now." 

 "Is he still sleeping?" Bobby asked. 

 "He is, but he is fine. I think his journey is almost over." 

 Dr. Casper went to Whisper and knelt by her side. 

"Yes I am sure he is fine," Whisper informed the doctor. 

 "Whisper?" 

 "It's ok Mommy. Dr. Casper knows I can read his thoughts." 

 Dr. Casper was shaking his head as he stood up. 

"Why do I feel that Whisper can do so much more?" 

 I laughed. "Come visit us and we will talk." 

 Will walked into the room. 

"The plane is ready for us to leave." 

 "I will sign the release forms," Dr. Casper said as he left the room. 

 I took Whispers hand. 

"Come on honey. Let's let Auntie Jess get dressed." 

 Nora walked past me. "I will help get Robbie ready."
