Chapter 7
Sunny & Todd went to go see Sarah. When they returned Todd said Sarah was asking for me. I went in alone. The room was dark. I looked over to the bed & I saw Sarah in it. She was so pale & weak that I wanted to hold her.

“Howie come here.”

I walked to her.

“Howie, can you do me one last favor before you go.”
“What?”
“Make arrangements to take Sunny with you next week.”
“Sarah I can’t…”
“Listen Howie. Sunny already told me goodbye when she came in here. I want you to take her now. Even if I beat the doctor’s prediction, I’ll be leaving not very long thereafter. It would be for the best Howie I know it.”
“Very well Sarah, I’ll do that.”
“There’s just one more thing Howie before you go.”
“What is that?”
“I love you & I have always have.”

I looked at her & kissed her one last time before I left. I went back out to see Sarah with her coat on.

“Dad can you take me home,” she asked.
“Yes,” I replied.
