A Sister's Life Changing Experience Of Faith And Hope Part Fourteen

I walk over to the couch and the person is talking to mom. I feel as though I should know them but it's hard to place because they don't turn around. I tap on the shoulder of the person talking to mom. I put my hand over my mouth and start crying. I had no idea Blake was coming home. Let me start with who Blake is. Blake is our brother, now Blake growing up was in a private high school and then went to college. Finally, after Blake graduated college he joined the United States Marine Corps where the last anyone heard from him, was that he was on base in North Carolina doing extremely well. I hug him and he doesn't let go. He knows that I'm happy to see him, but more importantly I know he knows that I'm glad that he came home to be with all of us through this difficult time. My mom tells me that she got a call from the one girl's mom and that her daughter was in surgery for the heart transplant. She then tells me that dad and my sister have arrived at the hospital in Washington. I ask Blake if He'll pray for everything, since I know mom has told him well, pretty much everything. Blake prays and he knows that with God in control that there is going to be a good outcome. I care about family and people who know what it's like to go through things that my sister is living with. We chat and laugh at stories of all of us kids that did crazy things growing up. Blake then loses that expression as he walks away with the phone in his hand. I can tell that his facial expression is serious. I can tell he has somebody on the other end that would seem like news that would hit you in the gut. He has an expression that shows some sort of news is to come to him and maybe to all of us soon. He continues talking and my mom gets up from the couch, and goes to the front door and looks out from the window and I don't know which way to go. When I say that, I don't know if I should go and comfort mom and assure her that everything will be fine, or if I should go towards my brother and make sure that the news is good and not bad. I can only hope that the call he is on, has nothing to do with our sister. I can only hope she hasn't passed away. I can only hope that it's not the mother of the girl, it seems my family has become very fond of and I can hope that she didn't have an complications during the surgery and pass away. I can pray and hope that what is about to happen, after it seems my brother gets off his phone, will be good news of what we needed to hear all week. Although, I can tell something is bothering him because he shakes his head. He puts his phone down and shakes his head. I can't think of him about to tell me that my sister passed already. I shudder at the thought of what he is about to tell us. Then he speaks and tells us that the call he got had nothing to do with our sister or the girl, but a friend of his. He starts to sob quietly, and mom comes over and hugs him tightly as if she knew he was talking about. I try to ask but I figured it wouldn't be right, so I don't ask him at all. Later on, dad wants to video chat with us and we do. We say hi to our sister and she gently waves. Dad said that they would start the treatment soon, but had to take care of another patient first.We all pray over her right now as we're all together on our video call, and then the doctor comes in and we hang up, after we said goodbye. It had been a long day, so we eat supper and watch a movie together.
