The days went by. The little girl got after the birth. The doctor told the parents, “There is very hope. Be prepared for the worst.” They had fixed up a special in their home for the new baby, but now they a funeral.
Michael kept begging his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to to her,” he said. If he didn’t see sister now, he might never see her . She dressed him in an oversized suit and marched him into ICU, but the head nurse him as a child and shouted. “Get the kid out of here now! No children are .” The mother rose up strong, and the mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse’s face. “He is not leaving he sings to his sister!” Karen towed Michael to his sister’s bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant the battle to live, and he began to sing. In the pure voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang:
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray....”

“You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my away.”
