“How did
you feel about that?” Tom asks.
“I
remember I wanted to help. I told they should give him all of my
share of their love, and that I'd give him my love too.” Another
memory suddenly pops in Robert's head. “That's right, that's why
we went for a picnic. James had just come out of hospital again, and
Mum said we should celebrate, do something nice, as a family. So we
went for a picnic. This meadow was one of Dad's favourite places.”
“You're
doing very well,” Tom tells him. “Now, I want you to look at the
ground a few feet in front of you. Don't look at anything else. And
keep remembering, tell me everything that comes to you. Can you do
that?”
“I think
so.”
“Good.
Keep talking, and start walking forward.”
