Today

We grappled with problems both mild and dire. We wiped mouths and noses and behinds, we spoke to doctors and nurses and chaplains. We followed him around undoing the undoing he did.

We invented games and discussed what-ifs, we fought fatigue and baked cookies, we cursed the dishwasher and consulted the to-do list.  But many of the mundane moments were so full of beauty and grace.  And because it feels better to focus on the one or two things that go right each day as opposed to all the things that go wrong, we deposit today in our memory banks, a day that was alive in life, a day that was good enough from the first kiss to the last straw.
