That made me weep John, as my mom is dying and I try to be there for her try to love her where she is….the moments are priceless but painful at the same time. This made me think how much I want to be there for her, but not at cost or self. So I’m there when I can be…I hold her with love when I’m there….i heal when daily when I’m not…it’s a complex place to be….thank you for sharing this…
Wonderful poem, John; I enjoyed your tender reading of it. I did not know its Oxfam connection until now; that's marvelous.
