Now in these early mornings of coffee and quiet, I find myself alone with thoughts never before contemplated. Fear has a new flavor that makes me want to face it, rather than cower in a corner. My depression be damned, there is no time for my dysfunction. It is my turn to calm his apprehensions about what the future will hold. My strength depends on me to protect him when he is at his most fragile. My world depends on me to fuel him through the fight of his life. My heart is full and ready to answer the call to action. |

This is beautiful, my friend. But it is much more than beautiful. You are reaching down, pushing things aside which will hinder, not help, and taking sole possession of your pure grit and determination to see him through whatever will befall him. He is very lucky to have you there for him. I wistfully wish I had been as lucky as he is and could have found someone with true grit kind of love which you have. Much happiness to the both of you. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

I am finding the silver lining in this situation and feeling blessed for what I have. I'm not looking forward to the coming days but I am undaunted. Thanks for commenting. ~L |
