" I&amp;#039;m not one to believe in miracles. In fact, the most miraculous thing I know of is Kim Kardashian&amp;#039;s booty. But something happened today that might just make me a believer.  Becky and I went out to pick up some grilled hot dogs and hamburgers from a local street fair. Mom was always a big fan of barbecues, and I remember that every year on Labor Day she&amp;#039;d fire up the grill in our backyard, while Dad would drink himself to oblivion, and Mike, Beck, and I would play tetherball until our hands were red and raw.  That seemed like another lifetime, another family. Dad was gone, Mike was suicidal, Becky was brainwashed, and Mom was sitting up in her bed staring blankly at a wall. The doctors had taken the bandages off her eyes so they wouldn&amp;#039;t get too dry.  Becky loaded up a hot dog with mustard, ketchup, and mayo. &amp;quot;Here you go, Mom,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Just the way you like it.&amp;quot;  She walked over and lifted the hot dog up as if she were presenting an Academy Award. Mom reeled her head back. She reached her hand out and pawed at Becky&amp;#039;s wrist.  &amp;quot;Heaven above!&amp;quot; she shouted.  We both thought she was having another heart attack and panicked.  &amp;quot;Mom! Are you all right?&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Is that you?&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Yes, Mom. It&amp;#039;s me. I&amp;#039;m right here. We&amp;#039;re both here.&amp;quot;  She reeled her head back again and let out a maniacal laugh. I ran out into the hall and screamed, &amp;quot;Nurse!&amp;quot;  When I got back, Mom was grabbing Becky&amp;#039;s arm, just hooting and hollering. Becky looked at me with a confused expression, not knowing whether to laugh or pass out.  Two nurses came running in. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s the matter? What&amp;#039;s the matter?&amp;quot;  Mom turned to them, a big, sloppy grin on her face. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s nothing the matter, you imbeciles. I can see!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
