The Inn At Rose Harbor (2012)
“Richard insisted, as soon as Josh and Michelle returned with him from the hospital.
Josh ignored the comment as he came around to the passenger side of the car and helped his stepfather into the house. Michelle climbed out from the backseat and hurried ahead to open the front door.
As much as he hated it, Richard was forced to lean against Josh in order to walk. His feet shuffled, and by the time they reached the third step onto the porch, his breathing was labored. Josh walked with him, keepin...g his arm tucked around the older man’s waist. Michelle held open the door and ushered them inside.
It went without saying how difficult Richard was finding it to accept help from Josh. He needed a walker, but he refused to use one. Any display of energy seemed reserved for verbally lambasting anyone within reach of his voice.
Josh helped Richard back into his favorite recliner. The old man collapsed into the chair and expelled a deep breath as though it had cost him every ounce of energy he possessed to make it this far.MoreLess
