    my head on his chest now. “I may not know how or why I got here, but I certainly don't regret it.” Loving strokes, gentle kisses, soft embraces, we stay like this for the rest of the night, until we both drift to sleep. Though it isn't as peaceful as I think it will be. I see bright flashes, voices whispering to me, they're pleading with me. But, I can't make out the words, I struggle to though. I try to speak back, to get their attention. I can't see anything but darkness, except for the flashes occasionally. I start to run, run towards where I see the flashes. They get brighter, lasting longer. “That's it, you can do it, Kitty.” “We're here, don't give up.” “Please, don't give up. We need you.” The voices start to become more clear, urging me towards the light. They don't stop, but it feels as though I'm running in slow motion. I can't help it, no matter how little it makes sense, it feels as though I am meant to follow the voices, to and through the light. “Just open your eyes, baby. You can do it. I believe in you.” My father! It is the sound of my father's voice. I begin to run faster, screaming for him. Though no sounds come out. I cry out, weeping for him. “Yes, oh, that's my girl. Come on, let me see those eyes.” My mother! Now I can hear her too. The darkness begins to fade, emerging into the brightness. I struggle to focus my sight, it hurts.

There is a tube in your mouth, to help you breath,” my mother urges me to calm down. “Honey, you've been in a coma for the last six months. We weren't sure if you were going to make it, but we couldn't give up. We knew you were strong enough to come back to us.” Everything feels like a dream, I'm confused. The words are floating around me, as I try to place them. The car accident, the headlights, the snow storm, the dinner, it all starts to fall back into place. I feel the tears burn and well up in my eyes, knowing my parents are okay. A pretty, young nurse comes in, she chats with me about everything that has gone on in the last several months. The way she talks to me, acting as if we know each other. It is a comfort, she makes me smile once she removes my breathing tube. She is not much older than I am, so she knows all the right things to talk about. Going on about how the doctor will be in soon to tell me about all the boring medical things I've gone through these past few months. Once she leaves, my parents tell me how dad broke his arm, and was in a cast for almost two months. Mother only had minor scrapes and one broken rib. The impact of the car was on the drives back side, which is where I was sitting. My father tries to blame himself, for the way he swerved, to get out of the way. I hug him ...
