After an hour or so, I was wheeled into my private room at the
hospital. It’s one of the reasons why I donate so much to the hospital all the
time; the security of having my own room and a door with a lock!! That and a
California king bed; a small dresser and a mini fridge too!!
With Vince’s help, I got changed into a nightgown that was in one
of my drawers in the room. As gracefully as I could, I got back into bed as
carefully as I could so I wouldn’t bust a stitch. Vince popped in a DVD and The
Godfather started playing. He got into bed with me so we could snuggle as we
watched the movie.
“Why do you like the trilogy so much?” Vince asked me.
“It’s a life lesson….Family matters and comes first no matter
what. You help others out like Don Vito did with Tom Hagen. A person is lucky
if they’re born or adopted into an Italian family but those who aren’t Italian
wish they were Italian. It’s a way of life. You eat, you drink, you get loud
and talk over each other. You do anything for your family. Your family is your
life!” I said.
“Ah, I see. Let me guess. You have two copies of the trilogy. One
copy is signed by all the main characters and the other copy is unsigned; you
watch the unsigned copy so you don’t mess with the signatures on the other one,
right?” Vince asked.
“How did you guess?” I asked. “Guess you know me oh to well!”
After watching the Godfather Part 1, I fell asleep for the night.
I was grateful that I had a private, unmarked room and that my husband was with
me.
