“Hello favorite” her doctor spoke first, flashing his pearly whites at her

“Hello doc” she returned the smile

“Hey princess, we just finished signing the discharge papers, hope you feel good”

“hmmmm, I guess” she smiled and looked at Mr Botha. She still felt agitated around him

“I appreciate your help sir” she hoped she sounded right

“It’s fine. It’s the least I –we can do. Besides I think Debby would want you to be comfortable and happy irrespective of the circumstance. You’re also like a daughter to us, I mean, you’ve been living with us for the last four years, you count as family” he gave her a warm smile that relieved her a bit

“Thank you” she said, smiling herself. She could tell that the aging man was still going through the pain of losing his daughter. She couldn’t imagine the pain of losing a child; only daughter. Debra must have been daddy’s little girl. She could see her father from the corner of her eyes motioning towards her mum

“Is everything set? Good to go?” Sarah looked towards her mum’s direction

“Almost done. I need to pick up her toiletries and we’re done” her mum walked towards the bathroom where she planned on going to before.
