Coma - Mark

Thomas received an email from his sweet niece, Ashley, last Friday morning. She told him that his best friend from high school, Mark Green, was a patient of hers at a care facility. She was talking to him and he said that he wished he could find his best friend Thomas from high school. He needed to talk to him, they had searched and couldn't find him. She came to realize he was talking about her uncle.

When Thomas read the email, he yelled for me to come. He looked in shock. His best friend had been in an accident and had been in a coma for many many years. Thomas had heard that he died. Thomas wanted so badly to see him, that right after work, we jumped in the car and headed off to Kingman.

Thomas enjoyed seeing his best friend although he was sad at his condition. He had a brain aneurysm and crashed his motorcycle over a decade ago. The two didn't miss a beat and talked about old times, they fun they had and of course, Thomas talked about his family. Mark loved Hayden.
Mark's mom, Mary, was so happy to see us. She didn't know how to find Thomas. Mark had been asking for him ever since he got out of the coma. It was great to see my husband with Mark. He smiled, he laughed, he told stories of the old days. Most of all, I saw the compassion in his eyes, his gentleness, his unconditional love.
Although it was difficult for Thomas to see his best friend in this condition, he was greatly moved at the kinship that they still felt. Mark will be glad to have Thomas back in his life. I know we will be making visits, sending packages, and more importantly, he will have Thomas praying for him and caring.
