Two Now...

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......
