I was purging the hall closet last night
where there is a mirror on the inside of the door.
I glanced in it and caught
my Howie lying behind me in the doorway
of the guest room.
This Love is never more than 6 feet away from me.
He steps over my O/2 tubing as you can see and will
trudge up and down the stairs as many times as I do.
He has bad knees, limited hearing
and failing eyesight now.
But he loves me, is devoted to me
and I am so blessed.
When I fall sleep and begin to have
breathing issues he now nudges me
awake and stares at me until I say
"It's Ok Howie go to bed."
If I ever need reminding that all my troubles
mean nothing in the big scheme of life,
this pic says it all.
I've got your back Mom
