Eveningtide... Day Four

Another day has come to pass, and it flew by like the wind.

I could say that I'm losing the days and hours, but any time spent with Rob is not lost in my book.

Today was a day of several 'firsts' that were neededAnd it was all good.  Rob went for a longer walk today than he's been on so far, and Holly and I were like proud mommies when we saw him rounding the last turn!  It's amazing how the little things in life suddenly become so large.

Rob's strength has temporarily been sapped without any food for five days now, and he didn't think he could shower, especially with four different tubes coming from four different areas of his body.  So I became his strength, and I climbed in there with him, and washed away the ugly memories of the last 120 hours or so.  The pain and the fear and the uncertainty rinsed off with the splashes of the warm water, and he was dried in the warmth of love.

It was all good.

And tomorrow is another new day, and we are all so blessed with that.

Good night.

In Love and In Peace,

Cheri
