Flying without wings
"I am scared mother! What will happen? What ever happens, I want you to know I will always love you! I can't go on like this! Forgive me," Angelina said to her mother, holding her hand, and then closeing her eyes. "Dearest, hang on. Please I can't afford to lose you!" Her mother said.
Angelina and her mother were having problems with her father, and Angelina couldn't take it anymore! She had had a break down after months of fleeting away from her father, living everyday in fear, and not knowing if there would be happiness in tomorrow. Angelina had been brought to the hospital, and she had been there for 3 days, and she was getting to feel worse and worse, and as she had closed her eyes, everybody thought this was it, it was over. Was it?
As her mother held her hand crying, the doctor came in, wanting to speak to the mother. "It doesn't look bright," he said," We can't get in touch with Angelina, her mind and heart is resting, our only hope, is that she now will find the courage to continue," he continued. Angelina's mother started to cry and she didn't stop, the doctor gave her a hug and said," It will be okay, we just have to pray for her!"
Meanwhile Angelina's mother and the doctor was in the room, Angelina was having a "journey."
This is what Angelina expiriences......
"I have to get to the end of the tunnel. I have to reach the place where the lights are." Angelina walked and walked, coming closer and closer. Somebody suddenly grabbed her wrist. She turned around, and saw a dark haired, blue eyed lad, looking like an angel. "Who are you?" she asked. "I'm Mark, and I am here to help you!" he said. "Help me with what? I know what to do, I have to get to the end of the tunnel!" Angelina said trying to pull away from Mark. "Your time isn't up yet! If you leave you will regret, many people out there love and need you! Come with me please, I want to show you some thing!" Mark said trying to get her back. "Okay I will come with you, but promise it won't take long!" Angelina replied. "Okay, I promise it won't take long!" Mark now took Angelina by the hand, and a new path in the tunnel opened. They walked through it.
When they came to the end, they found themselves in Angelina's hospital room. "Look this is your mother at this very moment! She is devastated! You left her and she doesn't feel she has anything to live for! You were her everything, you were the person who kept her up the whole time. You were there to comfort her when she saw no hope!" Mark said. Angelina moved closer and so did Mark. "You see Angelina, if your mother doesn't have you by her side, to encourage and love her, nobody can say what she will do." "But I can't go on, do you have any idea how it is? Fleeting away in the middle of the night, not knowing if your mother will be there tomorrow morning, all the pain and the suffering. It's all my fault, with out me, my mother wouldn't feel all this pain!" "That's where you are wrong Angelina! If your mother didn't have you, she wouldn't be on this planet today, she wouldn't have had anything to protect, love, care and live for, and if you turn now and go back to that tunnel, and walk to the end of it, your mother will feel more pain than ever, because she lost you! She needs you, and you need her, and together you are both strong and you can fight this thing!" Mark said trying to make Angelina understand, and his words had really got to her. She started crying, and hearing Mark's words repeat over and over in her head, but she was still in deep doubt, should she go back or not? Mark put her head on his chest, and held her in his arms.
Then he said, "Everybody's looking for that something."
Then he started singing,
"Some find it sharing every morning
Some find it in their solitary lives
You find it in the works of others
A simple line can make you cry or laugh.
You find it in the deepest friendships
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings" Mark voice and those enchanting words he sang, had made Angelina get a clear mind, she realized how much she needed her mother, and how much her mother needed her. She was ready to go back, and she did.
Back in Angelina's hospital room....
Angelina found herself waking up in the bed of her hospital room, amazingly she woke up to the sound of Flying without wings, which Mark sang to her once. She slowly opened her eyes, seeing her mother hold her hand, crying and the doctor was standing besides he. She closed her hand so she was holding her mother's. Her mother looked at her and gave her a hug. A nurse called out the doctor. "This young man wants to visit Angelina, I thought I would ask you first," the nurse said. "Angelina just woke up, he is welcome to she her. Sir just wait a little second, and you can come in," the doctor said. The doctor went into the room where Angelina and her mother were. "Angelina, somebody is here to see you," he said. "Who is it?" Angelina asked, and then seeing Mark walking into the room, she started crying. Mark walked over to her, he gave her a hug, and she said," Thank you. Thanks for everything!" "You are welcome," he whispered to her. Then he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Angelina fast recovered, and Mark became her good friend, and together the three of them were happy, strong and unable to knock out. Mark was living alone and therefore offered Angelina and her mother to come live with him. Angelina and her mother didn't need time to think, they took the offer. From that day they were all happy, and who would have guessed, it wasn't long before Mark and Angelina were to be parents to a little girl.
