For those who care, who are the carers of those who need caring for, nine bows of gratitude.
For the nurse who was punched to-day, by a patient suffering from dementia, Bows.
For the elderly man with terminal cancer who cared for his wife until the time now come, to be cared for. Valiant man!
Nine bows to all those who, alone or with others, face the task of helping another to get through another day, and another day and another and another...the unrelenting another day. I've been there and those days have been privileged days. Perhaps those days never end.
In many ways giving is easy receiving care, not so easy. I hope I have the good grace and fortitude to be cared for, should that time ever come.
