Michaels Version
Michael’s family accompanied him through his discharge process. They ensured that no reporters were waiting to pounce on him. He still needed time to reflect and wanted to be left alone.
Michael’s wife made sure he was comfortable at home and gave him his favorite homemade meal. Both his sons were standing at the door waiting to welcome him home. He sat quietly at the dining table, staring out the window as if it were the deep blue sea.
