100 Words on Love, by Doug Zeigler
–
I enter your room with curtains for walls. Cables and tubes strung all about and strangers in flimsy clothes add to confusion. Medical jargon is flung into my buzzing ears. And I am numb.
You are unable to speak. And that scares me. You’re always so talkative. This isn’t you. This isn’t real. It can’t be.
I feel you grab my hand. No fear in those eyes; you have a strength I’ll never have. My heart wells with hope and pride. This will all be OK.
I love and admire you, son. Together, we’ll conquer it all and move mountains.

More love, in 100 words.
Thank you, Doug. With you on this journey in spirit and heart.
Amazing. Sending love.
That’s beautiful, and so poignant.
Beautiful. Sending love and healing.
