Care-Given

Care-given: 

sick for the first time in several years, and grateful that's now and not when I was care-giving for my father. Even the slightest cold then could turn into something serious and land him in the hospital. There were several times when he was hospitalized with pneumonia and I feared he would make it home - but he always did, with the last time being in hospice and he passed away the very night of his return. 

so thinking about care-giving, my father and his love for me, and my own ragged cough right now - this is what he would want from me, my own loving-kindness turned around and offered to myself, tenderness offered to a sick and tired body. 

my father would say....

care for yourself as you cared for me.

and so I do.

somehow...

already feeling better.
