“I also have to go now. I have an appointment. Take care of yourselves” the doctor announced as he also left the room.
“We should leave too, people” Mr Botha said smiling as he made the first move towards the door and every other person followed.

The ride to the Botha home was very quiet save the soft music playing from the stereo in the car. It seemed like everyone had a lot on their mind as everyone was resigned to their thoughts. Sarah looked out the window and let the cold breeze wash through her features. She enjoyed watching the trees pass in a blur, as the sun was setting. She saw birds flying and playing above in the sky as though they had no care in the world but then she knew that was not true- every creature in the world was fighting for survival. She sighed and rested her head back on the chair in the back seat where she sat. At least they knew who they were, they recognized birds alike around them and were not accused of murder.
“Are you okay sweetheart?” her mum asked from where she sat beside her.
“I’m fine mum” she gave a small nod and turned her attention back outside the windows to the trees. Her mum kept on telling her everything happened for a reason and things work out well for those that love the lord and she tried to believe that but what about the group of people who didn’t even know if they loved the Lord- people like her? Were things not going to work out well for her seeing as she didn’t even remember loving the Lord? What happens if even after spending time with familiar people, she doesn’t regain her memories? She quickly let go of the thought. Doctor Robinson said she was going to recover and she was going to hold on to that. She might not know her stand with the Lord- God, but she knew and trusted her doctor and if he says she is going to recover, then she had no doubt about that.
