Who is he?
What does he know?
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?
While habits unfamiliar, we find our way
Each day different, “one day at a time”, we say.
like the crystals in a kaleidoscope,
one turn and the reaction
unfolds.
Silence from others, busily living as the world turns
we carry on
In case you were wondering, he is sweet and tender
as always, during this complicated
time.
A beautiful poem that so clearly illustrates what it’s like to keep focused on the Truth when everything else is so disorienting. Keep your courage up, Holly, you’re doing a fantastic job of loving and supporting your husband and indeed yourself. When my daughter first fell ill six years ago, my minister gave me a piece of advice that I follow to this day: “Enjoy her.” I have made it my job to keep looking for all her good qualities, and to treasure who she is beyond her difficulties.

it is a difficult time, isn’t it? But I hope it is easier with him closer to home. Or is he home now?

oh dear, that sounds like a stressful time for everyone. I hope it is the rehab center closer to home still. And that you have a big supply of easy to execute knitting projects to keep you sane!

lol wrestling with the yarn is better than wrestling with so many other things! I rarely use self striping yarn, but just started a second sock with some. I HOPE I started in the right place, I am not sure I can deal with the stripes not lining up properly.
