Sure she appreciates your heart-felt poem that illustrates how much you care about her, especially in this difficult time she is experiencing. Hopefully, all will end well.

My mom died of an aneurysm in her brain. I'm happy Cindy is alive. Nowadays medical care is so much better she has a good chance of survival. She is lucky to have you as a best friend.
I love the concrete imagery and metaphor of the kite.
Well done!

It must be a little disturbing when the one who is cared for is sick, then who will be the person to care for you, it isn't simply that you get someone else, but has become you friend too, and they are a rare commodity, well done, beautifully written Jesse, blessings Roy

Hi Jesse,
Sorry to here about your caregiver/friend. Hopefully it can be removed safely in an operation. It is good that you give her help and that she will return it when she gets better,
This is a well written free verse poem
Keep writing and stay healthy.

I'm so sorry, Jesse. My mother had a brain aneurysm and almost died. The ER doctor misdiagnosed her and sent her back home, if you can believe that. One of my brothers took her back to her hospital upon her instance. I was only sixteen at the time and I shudder to think of what my life would have looked like had I lost her. She lived until she was eighty. Prayers of healing sent up to the Lord now. Thank you for sharing.
Sending you my best today as always,

Wow. Misdiagnosing is a serious thing that happens way too often. I was misdiagnosed, the doctor said I had MS and I lived thinking I had it and then seven years later I found out that I didn't have MS after all! It changed my life!
Thanks for sharing and I am glad your mother lived all her life. Thanks for the prayers and the good wishes!

Your poem is well written and I enjoyed reading it. Very nicely done. Your poem is touching and heartfelt about the relationship you have with your caregiver. I used to be a caregiver myself, and get easily attached, and cared for the clients that I took care of. I loved how you used the metaphor of a kite untethered to capture the emotion well in your poem. Thank you for sharing.

This is a touching poem about the relationship you have with your caregiver. It's hard to have that support shaken, and the metaphor of a kite untethered shows that strongly and clearly. You captured emotion well in your poem.

Your use of metaphor here is most effective. An untethered kite can dip and crash so easily with the vagaries of wind, or life as that may be.
I hope your dear Cindy is well soon so may continue as before.
Very nicely written here.

Thanks, Gloria. You describe my metaphor to a tee. An untethered kite is a brainstorm I came up with while thinking about the anxiety I was feeling. Thanks for your good wishes for Cindy. Your kind words are a wonderful sight to see. I am always happy for you to stop by and gift me with your insightful review.
Take good care of yourself.
Jesse

grounded but of free spirit I would suspect. Certainly wish Cindy good health and a care equal to or greater than her care for you. If it at least matches, then I believe she will be in good hands.
