My brother’s good news from his surgeon brings relief. He is healing on schedule with no need for further procedures. Our good friend who has helped give him rides to his appointments confirms his report. Her text amplified his report. My mother’s voice on the phone sounds chipper again as my dad plays backgammon with his care giver, no longer stressing about how my brother is.
As a single man who lives alone, perhaps he didn’t realize that not only his coworkers feel the load of his medical leave. Many of us share in it, and now in the relief. No matter how isolated and independent we think we are, we are part of the web of life, interconnecting us all.
Can you feel the relief with me? Were you aware that you were helping me carry my sisterly load? Ki to Happiness shares the good news.
