For a few minutes, Hector just stood in the driveway, thinking about what to do next. He opened his phone notes, which were full of to-do lists and things that would need James' approval, but now he was on his own.
But before dwelling on any of that, he did what he did every day, he called his little sister.
"Amanda, how are you, darling?" He asked, and a smile spread across his face.
His sister's voice, still from the hospital, sounded so powerful this time, nothing like a months ago, when she could barely talk or didn't even want to. Back then, she had been depressed, ready to give up on life.
"Hector, I got a wheelchair!" She beamed through the phone. "I can finally go outside!" She shouted, her voice full of joy and excitement.
"Really?!" Hector asked in disbelief. "So you can go wherever you want?"
His sister hesitated for a moment. "No…only around the hospital…but still, it's something big!" The joy returned to her voice.
