I remember you. I know who you were before that phone call that changed everything, the diagnosis that scared the life out of you. I know you miss that you, and it is someone you want to get back to. But that man is gone. A better one stands in his place. Weak and bewildered perhaps, yet a wiser gentler soul. The good man you are is no worse for wear, challenged as he has been. I know worry has worn a trench where just a path used to be. Now there are things you can’t take for granted anymore. I realize the physical weakness fools you into thinking you are less of a man, because that is the lens you have always used to view yourself. Inside you are tougher and more resilient than you think. You are still strong enough to give me strength. You still comfort and protect me. You are still my everything, holding my heart in your hands. LGR©11/18/17 |

Warmly emotional, Miss Lori. You understand your man. The title quickly reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlIK_W69H9c ...peace to you and your family.  ...just bein' Bluesy |

Bluesy, Slim Whitman! Wow, I had forgotten all about him! Haha I've probably done my best impression a time or two too. I may have taken this a little more light hearted than intended, but I must say it hit the spot. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness. ~L |
