Here I find myself, once again, typing through teary, blinking eyes, with a lump in my throat. Gulp. My imagination stretches to emapthize with the magnitude of your impressive strength and piercing tenderness. Thanks again - you never fail to take us on such a beautiful ride. M xo

As a wife who has also had to deal with the challenges of having stalwart mate reduced to being a patient patient in a baby blue backless gown in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of him, this story resonated so -- why am I ok and able to walk around and laugh and joke and he is there in that bed, fighting for his life? Another wonderful window onto our souls! Thank you, Lucia!

Very nice Cia. I love how you find profundity in the little moments. Although this isn't really a little moment, is it?

Ah Lucia...that's painfully beautiful...I get it...totally...

Maybe life is just like that, and it's simply always going to be like that, and our job in the midst of it is to just keep going, to learn to love, to learn to commit, to learn to forgive, to overcome...

Thanks...

Beautiful! I too have trouble with the "helpmate" language of Genesis, or at least how it's been used by those who think it means "doormat," but you've redeemed it.

Lucia I have missed you voice here! Thanks for this. When I started reading, I almost thought you were telling a tale out of your imagination-- I tend to have a catastrophizing mind --the reality hit me like your husband's actual fall. Thanks for sharing this.
