The bedroom door had been left ajar. How great was our surprise when we saw him appear, although a short while ago he had barely been able to stand on his feet. He didn’t want to be alone, didn’t want to be abandoned. I’m glad I decided at the last moment to bring him with us. The evening before we left, he had wanted to sleep in the bedroom, alongside the bed. The morning of our departure he had climbed into the car by himself. We weren’t deaf to his prayer.
