"I am so thankful to God that your nurses and doctors are letting you out of the hospital until later tonight!" Mom smiled, taking my hand in hers. "Tara is not going to know what to do with herself when she sees you!""I am truly excited to be here for her big birthday, and surprise her!" I smiled and piped. "Due to the fact that it will be the last time that I see her before she leaves for Baylor, I am especial-ly thankful that I get to be out of the hospital and help her cele-brate her birth-day!"Before Mom or I could say anything more, we were arriving at my family's and my man-sion.
