When we write, we imagine a circumstance, a character, and we place ourselves there. We make it real in our heads so that it can be real for the reader, so the reader will be moved.Hello @chinyerevivian,
Every story that is worth anything represents thousands, maybe millions of 'real' events. That's what gives the story value. How many children and parents might there be in exactly this situation?
When I was very young my brother suffered a heart condition. After several years his heart failed. Except, nobody knew that was the problem. A country doctor would come and give him vitamin shots to 'build him up'. He became an invalid. One day he was rushed to the hospital where they refused to treat him because he was close to death. But that's not the end of the story. As happened in your story, there was a miracle. He was transferred to another hospital, underwent emergency, experimental treatments and was healed. He is 79 years old now.
What do you think this story meant to me? Keep writing in ways that move people.
I'm so happy your brother found his miracle. I wish other children find theirs too.
I tried to not make the story so sad but couldn't. Like you rightly mentioned, the heart was there. Thank you for reading and for the words.
