I'm in between........... I am halfway between life and death. I listen to the voices of my family around me hoping and preying. Preying that I wake, that I wake up refreshed and healthy I hear them sobbing at the sight of my closed eyes and want to wake. I want to wake up but my eyelids feel heavy and will not open. I just want to open them long enough to tell them I was alright but I was so tired at the same time. I want to sleep and go to the quiet place in my dreams the place with no worries and with happy faces.
