In the UK so many elderly patients are left alone to fend for themselves in hospitals; no one visits and there I am with my loving family... it tends to throw their lonliness into sharp contrast. So when I see a relative like this young woman tending to her Nan, applying cream to her hands, knowing her Nan must always have done that for herself, I had to write about it. I wrote it there and then, and thought about giving the poem to the granddaughter, but I never know if that is the right thing to do, or if it is too much, too invasive. I never know. I often write poems inspired by other patients, but they never know!Shaistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259344471712162333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577160948898919178.post-79640175997682290522011-10-30T18:53:11.272+00:002011-10-30T18:53:11.272+00:00Oceangirl, Agnes, thankyou for your lovely words.Oceangirl, Agnes, thankyou for your lovely words.Shaistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259344471712162333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577160948898919178.post-34487543200266965972011-10-30T18:52:30.654+00:002011-10-30T18:52:30.654+00:00Nene - I know this must have been difficult to rea...Nene - I know this must have been difficult to read, but I am so glad it warmed your heart.

You have warmed heart and mind with your words to the simmer that is of my liking.<br /><br />I don't know if your intention with this poem was to make an analogy of the state of mind of tiny infant's to that of one with a cerebral accident but this is what poked my curiosity.<br /><br />I wondered of that very issue when my mother was temporarily mentally arresting during her battle with alzheimer's before she passed.<br /><br />Thank you for your music of words between an infant and the 'nana'.Marcoantonio Arellano (Nene)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10713672589582754484noreply@blogger.com
