A Second Chance
““Mom, are you okay?” he asked as she threw up for the third time since he’d awakened.
“I’m fine, baby,” she said as he heard her again.
“I’m worried about you. Let me call Dad.”
“Just get ready for school.
You can’t be late.”
He stood there for a few more minutes with his ear pressed against the door and a pain in his chest that he didn’t like. His mother was never sick, and he didn’t know what he could do to help her.

He made breakfast for Christian and Clara and made his mother a piece of dry toast. When she turned the corner into the kitchen, he went to her and helped her to a chair.
“Eat this.” He set the plate down in front of her.

“You’ve lost ten pounds already. You don’t have a lot to lose. Eat it.”
Madeline nodded as he went back to packing lunch for Clara.MoreLess
