I just remember going to the hospital, and I remember sitting in a room with bright lights.
I remember a doctor asking me questions, and I remember telling him how Aunt Helen was the only one who hugged me.
I remember seeing my family on Christmas day in a waiting room.
I remember not being allowed to go to the funeral, and I remember never saying good-bye to my Aunt Helen.
I don’t know how long I kept going to the doctor, and I don’t remember how long they kept me out of school. It was a long time, I know that much.
All I remember is the day I started getting better because I remembered the last thing my Aunt Helen said just before she left to drive in the snow.
She wrapped herself in a coat, and I handed her the car keys because I was always the one who could find them.
I asked Aunt Helen where she was going, and she told me that it was a secret.
I kept bugging my aunt Helen, which she loved; she loved the way I would keep asking her questions.
She finally shook her head, smiled, and whispered in my ear.
“I’m going to buy your birthday present.” That’s the last time I ever saw her.
I like to think my aunt Helen would now have that good job she was studying for.
