Eve and Alex sat watching Josh tear up and down the street on his scooter. "Look mummy, look at this trick!" Josh thought he was a real scooter boy, but his tricks weren't exactly tricks, more of a jump, but she smiled. "Wow, that's great sunshine".
A little cough came to the surface, that forgotten irritation. It had been a month since she was in hospital and her recovery had been good but slow. She was a shadow of her former self and often laughed that it was a bit of an extreme weight loss programme. Now though, she was eating chocolate and cakes by the bucket load to get the calories. She was even keeping a rather nice patisserie in business at the moment and why not.
"Mummy, mummy look!" Some things hadn't changed, Josh was still vying for attention whenever he could.
Alex and Eve looked at each other. A knowing and silent exchange of "what if " passed between them. What if she hadn't have made that call? She had had a close call. They all had and it changed their lives for ever. For the better.
The End
This is based on a true story. But the names have been changed,etc etc blah blah blah.....to protect my privacy.
