I've Got Your Back Mom

I was purging the hall closet last night

where there is a mirror on the inside of the door.

I glanced in it and caught

my Howie lying behind me in the doorway

 of the guest room.

This Love is never more than 6 feet away from me.

He steps over my O/2 tubing as you can see and will 

trudge up and down the stairs as many times as I do.

He has bad knees, limited hearing

and failing eyesight now.

But he loves me, is devoted to me

and I am so blessed.

When I fall sleep and begin to have 

breathing issues he now nudges me

awake and stares at me until I say 

"It's Ok Howie go to bed."

If I ever need reminding that all my troubles

mean nothing in the big scheme of life,

this pic says it all.
