This is a story of a boy who entered into a coma, but regained conciousness long before he could indicate so to his family. The story of his Dad taking care of him(unaware his son knew) and his Mom, who nearly died of grief. And a story of love. [What a great story](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2010610/The-Ghost-Boy-The-uplifting-story-Martin-Pistorius-survived-mystery-paralysis-love.html) ---

I know they’re not all miracle-workers or even kind, but dammit, hospice workers, nurses and caretakers are some of the best people in the world. ---
