I Woke After 11 Days and Found My 9-Year-Old Grandson Asleep Beside My Hospital Bed—Then He Whispered, “Pretend You’re Still in a Coma”
“That might count.”

That was enough for us.
The sentence Walter whispered when I woke is still the part everyone remembers.
Pretend you’re still asleep.
Dramatic.
