fRaGiLE ThInGs

"You've lost weight."

"You look sick. Have you been to see a doctor?"

"Doctor, I've been feeling weak for some time."

"I think I'm going to need to run some tests on you quite immediately."

"I'm sorry, but it's going to go downhill from here... I'll say probably 6 months and that's it."

Do I fight or do I give in?

"Daddy you'll be ok. Let me put another cold towel on your forehead to make the fever go away."

"Daddy don't cry. We're all here with you."

I want to be out of this nightmare.

The fragility of goodness. The fragility of life.
