Chemo Observation Poem
She lies there hooked up to an IV bag.
He sits next to her.
Not a word spoken between them
And yet, when her eyes are closed,
I catch him just gazing at her,
With nothing but love in his eyes.
Thinking about the decades they’ve been together.
Wishing that he was in her place
Wanting to take her pain away
Wondering how she’s going to make it this time.
And what to do
If she doesn’t.

O my Cari - this is so touching. I can almost see them sitting there.....
Wow. No more words.
Cari,
Did you write that? It's beautiful.

On that note, how is the hubby handling all this? I can only imagine that the stereotype male response to crisis 'to solve the problem' is even further sensitive given your dh's profession.
Ann,
For my husband, life goes on as usual. I guess someone's gotta keep things in order.
