What The Hell Ch. 01

... away the sadness growing in my heart. Roxie saw it first. I noticed her nod to Lisa.

"Spill it, what's on your mind?"

I smiled a half smile. "Let's see, other than I just volunteered to work the holidays, all of them, Andrea wants a spring wedding, I miss my mom ... and oh, Carl is cheating on me."

I stood, leaning towards them and whispered, "I am going back to the ER." I picked up my half eaten salad, put it on the tray and walked away dumping it in the trash as I headed back to the ER.

I woke up Saturday morning and showered then dressed. Carl inquired as to where I was going. I told him I was going out to get my hair done, then a bit of shopping and lunch with my step-father. I would return later in the day.

In truth, I got in my car and drove to the Children's Hospital just off of Fenwood Road. There was an area where children could sit and listen to music. They have areally nice piano there. Playing there was open for selected volunteers to play as long as you weren't abusive. Volunteers were actually played for the staff and had to be approved to play there.

I stopped in at the Visitor / Volunteer Registration and signed in. Karla smiled welcoming me back.

"It's been a while Ms. Fernandez." She commented, I just smiled and put the sticker on my sweater then went to the music room.

"I think it is in the book. Let me find it. "I found it in the thick song book. "I think I can but will you help with the words?" I asked him.

He smiled, turned and looked at his mother. She nodded and then he turned to me "Yay!" He then sat on the bench with me. His mother wheeled the chair closer and attached the full face oxygen mask to him.

I slowly started playing and beautiful melodies floated in the air, several voices were trying to sing with me. Suddenly, I was filled with a slew of emotions. I smiled at the little boy and then the mother.

🎶 🎶 ... "someday we will find it, that rainbow ..." I choked up but regrouped when I thought of my mom, standing over me. I imagined Mom's hands on my shoulders. " ... lovers, dreamers ..." I took a deep breath and extended out the refrain looking at the little boy, "🎶 🎶 ... and you!"

I smiled and finished the song with a few notes, replaying the refrain, slower, but then came to a finish and laid my fingers on my thighs.

I looked over to the mother, she had tears in her eyes, and the boy suddenly wrapped his little arms around as much of me as he could. It was only then noticed his wrist bracelet, third floor south. ...
