Tubes winding everywhere like snakes coiled on rocks sunning themselves. The mysteries of colour coded tubes. We learned the language of red numbers, (diastolic, systolic) while our hearts moved to the rythm of drips and beeps. We sat vigil watching your face, your beautiful face contorted to the angles of breathing tubes – Your body a [...]

Blessings, like raindrops fall from the heavens
When I am in the midst of a moment it’s hard to hide it from people. I’ll be the first one to admit I can be a pain, perhaps a bit obnoxious and difficult – I like to think it’s part of my charm. Although I have to admit I was quite charmless last week [...]

Today the sun was shining and despite the fact that the dental hygienist mangled my mouth, I had a wonderful day. When the sun is shining everything is better and I can eat as much ice cream I want and not gain a pound.
