This is Sam Bukater outside of Bellevue Hospital where Rose has been staying since the Monday after Thanksgiving. It is two weeks until Christmas, and the look in his eyes is a mixed bag. He's weary of the hospital. He fears for his daughter's life...
This is what it feels to be Sam Bukater right now:
You walk out of the hospital every evening with the fear that it might be the last night. Inside, your daughter, age twelve lies on a hospital bed that offers no comfort. You wish for her to be home, safe and sound, but you know this is impossible for the time being. You have a fear that your wife doesn't understand, nor do your other children; one of whom has been raised by another family, and the other, the other cannot show her emotions without losing her temper. You cry at night praying to god that she'll get home, but then you sink back into reality, and another day of filling out ship deployment forms and making sure that England doesn't violate the Creedonian Maritime Boundary, all these things however cannot overtake the priority of your daughter's condition...
