A different life

A different life

The Equity

I went West recently  to visit my brother and his invalid wife. Daily care-givers use a special lift to get her in and out of her wheelchair. That allows her to live a normal life. Normal?

And I look on, thankful for my brother’s courage and her pretty smile that appears each time I come near her.  

When I feel sad about their life, I remember my brother’s words.  “She’s alive and she’s happy!” He loves his wife of over 40 years and she loves him. Love never fails!
