What have we done to him!.”<br/><br/>Chloe is also overcome with the emotional situation as well, she turns to me and quietly asks:<br/><br/>“Kimmie, please get us some water. Thank you dear.”<br/><br/>I move immediately.  This is a time for mother and daughter and the presence of an outsider to the family would be upsetting to Mrs. Dawson, Im sure.<br/><br/>I find the cafeteria nearby.  I purchase two bottles of cold water.  Then snake my way back past orderlies, nurses, doctors and assorted hospital staff, to the ER.  I slide back into my seat and give Chloe the water bottles.<br/><br/>“Here Mother, drink. You need water!”<br/><br/>Chloe feeds her mother the water.  Mrs. Dawson must be so wrought with emotion that her hands are unable to control the water bottle on her own?  Mrs. Dawson finishes nearly, the entire bottle of water.  Chloe pours the remaining bit of water over their joined hands.  Then she utters something odd....<br/><br/>“You’re clean now Mother. Clean. Blessed be.”<br/><br/>Her mother shudders again, but not so violently as the first time when she was recounting her story.  She begins to cry and then melts into Chloe's arms.  Mother and daughter rock slowly together.   I lean back into the chair and dont look at them.  Its as much privacy as I can give them at this moment.<br/><br/>I try to connect the dots between, 'what have we done Chloe' and 'you're clean now mother'.   There is a lot that I dont know and that's the only fact I have with any certainty.<br/><br/>
