part three.

By now it had been hours since Emily was admitted and still no-one had told Suzy how her little girl was doing. Emily was the only thing Suzy had left. Emily’s father was a marine and went to serve in the war against Germany; Emily was only a few months old when he had to leave. It was the hardest thing he ever had to do. Seventeen months after being deployed Suzy got a letter in the mail, she opened and found a letter from the General of the Corp. and her husband’s dog tags. He died in the final battle defending his country. To this day Suzy has yet to tell Emily of her father and the courage he possessed.
Suzy thought about him a lot, most of the time without even realizing it, this was one of those times. In the middle of one of those memories the doctor came up and tapped Suzy on the shoulder. He stood in front of Suzy for a moment without saying a word, he could see the questions in her face. Suzy stared into his eyes searching for an answer. The doctor just nodded his head at Suzy and she knew Emily was okay. The only words Suzy could get out were, “ Can I…“and the doctor nodded his head once again and told Suzy the room her daughter was now in.
