Caregivers Lament

told me all I needed to know.

Today I sit alone. Friends, acquaintances go on about their lives, and I am on the outside looking in. But I don’t regret a minute, the hours devoted to your care.

It’s just that now, the worries I once had, are something of the past. Each of us had spoken of this very point in time, but I never truly realized how hard it’d be to face.
