Spencer likes to tell people about what happened to his sister. If someone is talking to us about Abby and how she is doing, he will join the conversation and add that Abby can't talk or walk, "because a long time ago her brain was bleeding." I just learned that he explained this to his Primary class on Sunday - even making sure to point out that the blood wasn't on the outside where you could see it, but that it was on the inside. They were having their Easter lesson, about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The teacher was explaining that because Jesus was resurrected, we will also be resurrected and on that day when our bodies and our spirits are reunited, our bodies will be perfect. She used Abby as an example and Spencer was very eager to get up and tell in his own words what happened to her.
Spencer especially likes to remind his parents about his sister's condition. Sometimes when Anthony or I ask Abby a question, Spencer will say, "Abby can't talk. Remember? Because her brain was bleeding."
Yes, Sweetheart, we remember.
Every so often he will say, "I really wish Abby could talk."
And I tell him she will.
One day.
#BecauseHeLives Abby will be whole again someday.
