Little Doubting Thomas Scene 99

He saw a matching dresser against the wall with a changing table on top with baby powder, a roll of toilet paper, washcloths, and a stack of clean cloth diapers. A covered plastic pail had been converted into a dirty diaper hamper which stood alongside the dresser. The room smelled of clean sheets and baby powder. In the corner there was the large rocking chair he remembered from his youth. Thomas’s earliest memories of the chair were of the times when he was a toddler that she used to rock him in the chair when he was fretful or ill. Despite the familiarity of the furnishings, they shocked him deeply; his bedroom wasn’t the abode of a ten-year-old boy nor even that of a four-year-old. His room had been transformed into a baby’s nursery!
