Two weeks later (if you didn’t
read the prologue, go back)
Kate, dressed in dark blue shorts and a white gauzy blouse, her hair
piled in a messy bun, glanced at her five-year-old daughter, Ryan, and
beckoned her over with a quick motion of her finger.
“Turn around; let’s check your backpack for the iPad,” Kate said as
her husband, Sam, completed a final round to secure the house.
“I checked Mom. It’s there,” Ryan said while pivoting on her small
white deck shoes with a scowl that showed she was past ready to leave.
“You’re right—it’s here,” Kate confirmed, her fingers brushing
against the purple rubber case amidst the backpack’s contents of items only
a young girl would accumulate.
“We’re all set,” announced Sam, stepping into the living room from
the rear of the house.
“Can we leave now?” implored Ryan, her short brown curls
bouncing with each impatient shift from foot to foot.
She had woken before sunrise, placed her favorite grandpop gift
around her neck, donned her new pristine white marine clothes, which had
colorful dolphins and sea turtles strategically placed around the hems of the
shirt and shorts, and was ready to go before Kate’s blurry eyes could focus.
Ryan had posed her question about leaving every fifteen minutes during
breakfast and their departure preparations.
“Let’s do this,” Sam agreed, smiling at Kate.
“Yay!” Ryan exclaimed, jumping up and down on both feet instead
of alternating.
Kate scooped up her red backpack from the floor, settling it on her
lap.
“Need a hand with that?” Sam offered.
“Nope, I’m ready,” she replied with a firm cast to her lips because
she hated being treated like an invalid even if she felt like one most days.
Gripping the wheels, Kate pivoted her chair towards the door and
rolled forward. Her excitement built as the steady hum of the van’s lift
positioned her wheelchair, and Sam secured it in place with a downward
push on the levers.
Eighteen months had passed since the accident that left her with an
incomplete spinal cord injury, taking away the use of her legs. The
rehabilitation center staff had believed her fortunate for retaining some
sensation below the waist, but Kate had never felt unluckier.
She’d gone through the five stages of grief; denial, anger,
bargaining, depression and finally acceptance. Acceptance was still the
hardest and some days she took a backwards step into depression again.
Kate shrugged her unhappy thoughts aside. The yachting adventure was a
step toward healing that she’d needed over the past year and finally, it was
happening.
Six months since settling with the other driver’s insurance had
allowed them to adapt their newly purchased 61-foot yacht for wheelchair
access. The modifications were completed a week before and they’d used
the time before their departure to stock it with what was needed for a
month’s voyage. They were fortunate that one of her father’s friends had
sold them the yacht at a steal. They’d christened it Ryan’s Gift in a small
private ceremony the night before.
