"Thanks for asking me to go to lunch with you, sis!" I smiled, as Chelsea, my wonder-ful and older sister, and I made our way to Chick-Fil-A. "I am glad that we are getting to do this!""I am even more glad!" Chelsea piped. "I don't remem-ber the last time that we did some-thing, just the two of us.""I think it was before I was admitted into the hos-pital." I said. "I still cannot believe the cancer is gone, and that, as of yester-day, I am out for good.""You being out of the hospital is the best gradu-ation gift that I could ever ask for." Chelsea said, gently. "On a differ-ent note, do you have any plans for to-night?""None that I can think of." I replied. "Why?""I want you to hang out with the girls and I at my gradua-tion sleep-over tonight.""I appre-ciate you trying to be nice and include me, but you don't have to.""Who says I am just asking to be nice, girlie?" Chelsea asked. "You got out of the hospital yester-day, on the same day as I gradu-ated high school, and I would love it if you hung out with us tonight.""Sounds like a great plan to me!" I smiled.
