Then Kris turned back toward the door to escape, but Kathy was too quick. "Where are you going, young lady?" Kathy demanded. "We haven't even been int...oduced."Her hands were still at her side and tears were in her eyes as she said, "I am Kristin Callahan, Mrs. Carlson. I apologize for wasting your time."Kathy took the girl in her arms, then using her great strength forced Kris's chin up and softly kissed her. The girl's eyes widened as she felt the flow of love from Kathy's lips. Her arms just. " Tears were flowing down her cheeks as well. "We try not to let these kids get close to us, we try but they still do. Mel was a favorite of everyone who worked on this ward and we all were devastated when we finally lost her." But it was in remission! The medication you were giving her had the cancer in remission. She was getting better!"Shaking her head she went on, "That's what we thought too. Sometimes it does that. For no reason that we know of it will stop spreading and stay where it's at. You know that. I just don't count. But please help Illinois Technologies! Peter deserves it, even if I don't."Jan sat down in the empty chair at the head of the table. She could not look up as the lights came up in the room. She didn't dare look to the end of the table to see Mrs. Clifford's reaction. While still looking down at her hands, she felt a hand on her shoulder. When she turned around, she almost fainted. It was Ali! She was standing there looking at Jan with love in her eyes. Jan. ?Now I had embarrassment toadd to my list of emotions; my face felt like it had spontaneously combusted,and I buried it in my hands groaning, ?Ohhhh My God No; I?m so sorry Daddy,it?ll never happen again, I?ll call Melissa and tell her it?s all over, Ipromise.?? I knew I was babbling, and nowI was whole heartedly crying my eyes out; Daddy lent forward and kissed megently on my forehead, ?There, there snookems, its ok, stop crying; I?m happyif you?re happy, you don?t need to tell Melissa any.
