A Special Moment

I was in Bruce's room today when Shelly happened to be on the phone with him. The nurse held the phone up to Bruce's ear so Shelly could talk to him on his birthday. Bruce was awake and clearly listening. On the ventilator he can't speak. But then I saw something very beautiful and exciting. In the muffled sounds from the phone I made out that Shelly said, "I love you." Then Bruce mouthed the words, "I love you" back to her. It may not of had sound, but I had the priveldge of seeing it. Bruce spoke. And his first words of the comeback were to his best friend.

Go Bruce! Make your comeback! Go Bruce! Make your comeback!!
