day 33 and it's still so hard

Day 20

No place to cry

No time to cry

No energy to cry

No tears to cry



Day 21



a Sunday of solace

became a day of fear

a man in his senior prime

was attacked by his brain*

suddenly he could not

talk, walk or eat

after two weeks of much sleep

he entered rehab

speech and movement began to return

but will he be the man

we all knew and loved?

so many questions still unanswered

but it's time to quit asking

and accept the blessings as

they come slowly

*(strokes are called brain attacks)
