With his arm around me
literal brotherly love
“You know you’ll be taking care
of him the rest of your life,”
Or was it his life?
Either/or
doesn’t matter
does it?
I smiled. Did I say?
“I know, for better or worse.”
He could and would
take care of me, that I knew.
We married that day
No unusual caregiving
has transpired - just
routine Dr.’s appointments
post operative nursing
assorted aging concerns.
We don’t know what or when.
We do know our decision was
undeniably the best decision.
Compatibility - off the charts
Compassion = off the charts
Common interests - off the charts
Consideration - off the charts
Age difference - off the charts
Then - Ninety and seventy three
Now - Ninety seven and eighty
“People always say you should live every day as though it's your last. I sort of have taken the opposite tack, where I think you should live every day as though it's going to go on forever. You should treat people like you're going to see them again in the future. You should start working on projects that may take a long time.”
― Peter Thiel
