   Though reunited with his family and heavily involved in the Church; specifically, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Dragic was still experiencing Sleep Paralysis.  Kathy would rub his shoulders in bed, sing him sweet Psalms of David, and tell him to take walks in the park and focus on the love of a Good God.  Dragic did all of these things; nonetheless, from time to time, his sleep patterns were disturbing.
   One night, after feeling pinned down, he pulled himself up and went into little Jude's room.  The young adolescent was sleeping, a lullaby of love around his neck, the Mother of God on the Miraculous Medal; thus, Dragic felt overwhelmed to touch it, close his eyes, salute Mary, knowing She was full of grace and the Mother of true God and true man--everyone's salvation, if admitted. 
   Therefore, Dragic knew he was saved by the blood of the lamb and the confession of the mouth; plus, eating the body of life, and his past came back to him with full thunder from on high, igniting him with pure energy, shielding him forever from the neglect of holy inspirations.  He truly became a new man, for once were there was darkness--now there was light.

   At the local library, shuffling through the theology section, Dragic stumbled, like ghost-walking serendipity into his ex-wife, Kathy.  The twosome ignited with a synergy of shock, awe, and remembered love.  Kathy immediately began to tear up, and could not help but instinctively embrace the man that had left her, for as a Christian--she knew his pain; moreover, knew he was the image of God, so to speak.  Dragic had no tears, just felt the feeling of true love; next, Jude wheeled around the corner, into the theology aisle.

JUDE
Are you my Dad?

KATHY
Letting go of the embrace.  Yes Jude--he's your father.

DRAGIC
I made a mistake Kathy; I want to come home.

KATHY
I'd like nothing better.

JUDE
Smiling.  Me too Dad.

   Dragic had spent the last two months going to Mass ascetically, wending his way off of the anti-psychotics, and battling his sleeping disorder with prayer and meditation upon the daily mysteries of the Holy Rosary.  He felt a little better, and was feeling a sense of action to reattach himself to his estranged family; specifically, his ex-wife and son.
   The Priest gave him some advice from the poet Pope:  "Be not swift, but wise."  Still, Dragic knew there had to be a bit of mercurial haste involved, as he was determined to bandage the cruel wounds of life.
   He would drive past Jude's house, innocently spying his child playing and wheeling around in his wheelchair on the driveway, always with a book in his hands.  He knew his ex-wife loved literature, and as he departed he went to the library and checked out Twain's Joan of Arc.  Though she was female, he knew her to be determined in faith, and filled with a spirit that gelled with the supernatural aspects of holy sublimity.
   He started invoking her for strength, and would put on his armor of God in order to make a divine re-connection from that which was thieved from him due to the despair of life.
