A thousand teardrops, prayers, and visitors later, Nate and I were finally able to convince Mr. Shue to take his wife home to get some rest. We were going to stay with him for the rest of the night. It was already four in the morning and we both were operating off the fear that we could lose our best friend.

Nate had brought his pastor’s wife to come and pray with the family. He had been at the church feeding the homeless when he got the call. When he left the hospital the first time he told me that he had gone back to the church to pray and broken down in tears. Anita, the pastor’s wife, had come upstairs and found him crying and helped him pull himself together. Afterward she insisted that she come to the hospital to pray with the family. She was nice. Not what one would expect physically from a pastor’s wife. She had the body of a video queen.

“So what do you think?”

I was actually dozing off. “Huh?” I replied.

Nate was staring out the window on the opposite side of the waiting room. “Do you think he has a chance?” He asked.

I shrugged my shoulders like a kid with no good answers. “I hope so.” I didn’t want to share my true thoughts. I wasn’t very encouraged.

“Yeah.” He walked back over and took a seat. “With Him, all things are possible.”

“Amen to that.”

The doctors were monitoring Brendan all night every fifteen minutes. He was shot up with the maximum amount of pain medication. He had more tubes running in and out of him than the Six Million Dollar Man did before they rebuilt him, bigger, faster, and stronger than he was before. All the attention was a good sign that the doctors were trying to bring him back.

As morning neared, the prognosis hadn’t changed. Brendan was in critical condition but appeared to be headed into a coma. His body fought the sleep. He had so much to say to everyone, to Trina. I just want to apologize, I could have been a man about things. I haven’t been myself lately, all this running around lying and playing with people’s feelings. The voices that were with him spoke to him. Don’t worry about that right now. Save your strength.

I’m really getting tired.

Don’t quit.

It doesn’t hurt anymore.
