Two relatives in hospital just now...
One recovering from a heart attack
One elderly, hopefully getting over infections
It\'s a limbo still - not knowing
Hoping the \'worst\' won\'t come to pass
Yet hardly seen one of the relatives
For over 16 years - some relationship break up
Finding comfort in faith, though we can\'t \'see\' faith
Finding comfort too in people
And in pets - our two cats - they know....
They come to you when feeling down or sad
Whoever said they are not sentient?
Some have not a lot of time to visit the sick
They have to work, tend to the family, etc
I DO have the time thankfully
{A daft digression:}
But - I best not sing to them
When I visit them
Who can bear that - whether well or unwell?!
And I won\'t bring KP along
One sight of her will make them feel worse (heehee)
Aww, but they won\'t let Fido in!
{End of digression}
Humour helps, but not as escapism
Nor ignoring the reality of situations
Onwards - faith as a rock, foundation, always giving hope
Onwards - through the tunnel; along the path....
Step by step; day by day......
