FILL THE ROOM

Dear Spike:

Wonderful news on your little ticker today: Dr. Stewart told your mother she shouldn't bother, any longer, with coming into the hospital for her hitherto twice-weekly checkups of your heart.

The doctor says it looks just fine.

The message came just a few hours before we were supposed to meet at the hospital. And I admit I was a bit disappointed.

I did so love seeing you on that ultrasound screen and hearing your heartbeat fill the room.

Tra-da-dup---tra-da-dup---tra-da-dup---tra-da-dup.

Love,
dad
