I picked it up and stuck it in my back pocket. Standing in line in the dining room, I waited for my tray. I was looking around for John. I hadn’t seen him for a couple of days and wanted to make sure we had a chance to say goodbye. I also was anxious to tell him what I had learned yesterday in hopes that it might inspire him in some way. “Thompson…” my name was called. I walked forward to collect my tray and asked the orderly, “Have you seen John?” He handed me my tray and looked at me with a silent stare and said nothing. Our eyes remained connected for a few seconds as I slowly turned and walked away with my breakfast. I think he knew, but either he couldn’t tell me OR he wouldn’t tell me. I sat down at the table and pulled another chair close to me hoping that John would walk in at any moment and sit with me. Other patients walked slowly by, some staring at me as if they had something to say, but never did. It was clear to everyone that I was going home. 62
I waited about an hour, slowly sipping my juice cup and finishing the soggy bran left from the raisin cereal in my Styrofoam bowl. I looked at the clock, and it said 8:50. 10 more minutes. I cleaned off my tray and headed to the nurse’s station to pick up my discharge papers. When I arrived, I saw Loretta sitting at the computer through the glass partition. Glancing up, she saw me standing there wearing a crooked smile knowing our last encounter left me speechless. Tight lipped, she got up from her chair, picked up a yellow envelope and walked into the hall through a side door. Walking up to me slowly with an intense look on her face, my smile quickly faded as I flattened my lips and tucked in my chin, preparing for what I thought was going to be a good tongue lashing for my rudeness the first day. Standing right in front of me she whispered, “Do you have everything, Mr. Thompson?” her lips began to slowly bend upward as if she was holding back her laughter. I immediately picked up her vibe of forgiveness and we simultaneously laughed and hugged each other. 63
