Ill and Lonely
I have been terribly sick and with that sickness came feelings of loneliness.
I really wanted to have someone around to rub my back when I was cold and sore. I wanted someone to go on a ginger-ale and tissue run. I wanted someone to offer to make me hot tea. I wanted someone to fold and put away the laundry...but I was alone.
It gets terribly lonely when I am sick because I am not a powerhouse of amazing self-contained independence. I need a partner in my life to help me when I need help.
