@NellFrizzell When my grandpa was in the hospital post stroke, we thought he was babbling until my grandma recognized all his references, the dog running across the parking lot, the dropped ice cream cone, the too high laughter. Their whole lives he was living again and only she saw it.

I lived in 13 places before graduating from high school. Workshop writing prompts are often abt the house you grew up in-the stairs, the kitchen, your bedroom. Just one. Every time, I feel a prick of sadness or maybe jealousy. My story is interesting, too, but it's not that story

One thing I learned as a hospice nurse is that our lives are not storylines. There is often no resolution at the end. Bills unpaid, arguments mid, misunderstandings misunderstood. On days like today when I try to fix everything, this reminds me not to waste my precious time.
