Margo
jumped to her feet said, no you can’t do that to her, grandma
told me her life began at magnolia lane and she wants it to end
there. I won’t let you put her in some nursing home. I will go
to Georgia and take care of her myself. Joanne said, now Margo
that is a lot of responsibility, and what about you’re
wedding? Well said Margo, the wedding is going to be at magnolia
lane anyway, so that will give me time to clean up around there.
What about Daniel? What about him, said Margo? He has his work
to keep him busy; we can talk on the phone as much as we want.
And it’s not that long of a ride to Georgia. He can come up on
the weekends. And misty can go with me, can’t you misty? Sure
I can said misty, I would love to see
magnolia lane. Then it is settled said Margo, and there is no
need to argue with me mom, I have made up my mind. Joanne knew
how stubborn Margo could be, so she said, ok Margo, but I
can’t let you take all the responsibility, I will come
up every other week end and give you a hand. Then she hugged
Margo, and with tears running down her face, she said, gosh I am
so proud of the woman you have become. And I know it will make
mom happy to stay at magnolia lane.
Then Margo turned her attention towards Dr. Roberts, and she
said so Dr.
Roberts how long do you think grandma has? Well said Dr Roberts,
I’m not really sure; we’ll have to wait and see how she
does. I know she misses Sam very much, sometimes when people
loses someone close to them they give up. They feel there is no
reason to go on. But Mary is a very strong willed woman. And I
believe that she will fight as hard as she can to stay around.
After all she has a wedding to get ready for, and I know she is
looking forward to that. She talks a lot about you Margo, and
she is looking forward to your wedding, she said magnolia lane
will be alive again, like it was in the old days. Well said
Margo, I will leave this weekend and get things ready for her to
come home.
Ok
said Dr Roberts, it will be about two weeks before she’ll be
released. so I guess I’ll see you then. Ok said Margo, and
thanks Dr Roberts. He said no problem just doing my job. I
became a Dr, because of people like Mary and Sam. Mary is one of
the sweetest lady’s I have ever known. She would give you her
last dollar if you needed it. And Sam was a great guy, always
friendly and helpful to everyone he met, it has been a pleasure
knowing both of them. Then he looked at his watch and said, wow
I had better get to the airport before I miss my flight. You
folks take care and we’ll be talking soon. Ok, and thanks
again Dr. Roberts for taking the time to come here, said Joanne.
You are welcome Mrs. White, and it’s been a pleasure seeing
you again. She walked him to the door and then he left.
