Chapter 6 - Page 78 - Rhasha's Bed

   Pepper had never seen a vision before. All her strength left her body and she fell to the floor. Tears ran down her cheeks. She sobbed loudly. Jim heard Pepper crying and looked up to see what was going on. When he looked up, the blue glow disappeared.

   Jim could see Pepper sitting on the floor, crying. He rushed over to her. “Pepper, what happened? Are you OK?”

   Pepper regained her composure. “Jim, don’t you see the angels?”

   Jim looked at the four patients. “No, Pepper,” he said, “I don’t see them.”

   The transparent figures were gone. Pepper jumped to her feet and looked around. “I saw an angel on each side of each patient,” she declared. “Please believe me, Jim! I know they were there.”

   Jim put his arms around her. “I believe you, Pepper, and I believe the angels are still there. We just can’t see them now.”

   Jim felt her shoulders relax and released his hold on her. She excused herself and moved to check the young mother’s pulse. Jim looked at the mother and saw tears running down her face. He looked at Rhasha and could tell she had been crying, too. He knew Rhasha and the young mother had seen the angels also.

   He walked over to the mother’s bed and kissed her on the cheek. Pepper had finished checking her pulse. “Jim,” she said, “she’s much stronger now. I think she’s going to make it.”
