A Mother’s Plea
Amid the sterile halls, one plea changed everything. Ethan’s mother begged, “Please… let Max stay with him.”
At first, hospital policy said no. But when the staff saw Max pressing his nose against Ethan’s bed, refusing to move, they finally gave in.
From that day on, Max became part of the room. He lay beside the bed, his head resting on Ethan’s arm. He barely touched food unless it was offered there. Sometimes, he whimpered softly—as if calling his boy home.
