In the hospital, Laurie looked at my Polaroids, laughed a bit, then asked if I could take a few more, especially one with all the fluids and lines in the background. It was nice to see her laugh, knowing she’d been by Dad’s side all night, sleeping not nearly enough.
Assuming Dad wakes up, this’ll be an excellent reminder of paying a little closer attention to what his body’s trying to tell him.
If he doesn’t…well, one day at a time.
