A new physician came over recently, Mr. Black. That's what his name is. He is different. Ever since he has come to live with us mother has improved.
She is looking better. The color that had left her cheeks has returned. She looks pinker. Her eyes have begun to look alive again. She no longer looks like a corpse. Her sunken cheeks look full. And that smile … Oh God that smile I don't remember it being this beautiful. Or being this beautiful.
Daddy too looks happier. He seems to have lost a few years since mother looks better. His smile reaches his eyes now. He doesn't look tired. He comes home more often. There something akin to hope in the house of Waters. We finally seem like a family.
