Narrative: What If You Mean A Nursing Home
For Roy, the next three days past by almost too quickly, while at the same time, seemed to crawl past. So many questions were racing through his mind, though he didn't voice them out loud in fear of causing Jo more worry. What he didn't realize was that Joanne was thinking many of the same thoughts. Johnny was such a huge part of their family for both them and their children.

“Doctor Early, no offense, but the way you are making it sound is that you don’t have much hope that this…issue, or whatever,” Jo waved her hand around, almost spilling her coffee. “Will go away.”
“No, I don’t,” Joe admitted softly. “At least not until John’s brain is fully healed and at best, that could take

    When Johnny was six, he stated that God was "what's good in me," and his drive to do good stays with him through his short life.

But two other qualities shine through in Johnny, and they often connect: his selflessness and his courage.…
