The Chair
.
I wanted him to be comfortable
so I was grateful for the chair.
I knew that he would spend the night
wrapped up and sitting there.
.
Alone
.
I can hear it as it moves at night
when he wants it up or down.
I listen as I lie in bed
to the motors lonely sound.
.
Alone
.
Changes appear in increments
and I suppose I should be glad.
But he no longer lies beside me
and the nights just make me sad.
.
Alone
.
This latest change has hurt so much
it's been hard to stop the tears.
I cannot reach to touch him
now I sleep with just my fears.
.
Alone
.

It is Ok to express your feeling in this public manner. It helps me as well because you express my pain as much as yours. My prayers are as much for you as they are for Al my buddy. What ever happens, Al will be victorious. It is our faith in that truth that makes our faith so valuable.
Just wanted to send love and thoughts your way, aunty.
Your words are beautiful and heartbreaking.
