Caring

She told them that they would have to do the caring. I understand her. I do. But I feel for the one who will need caring for so much. But I also feel for her, her hurt at not being able to offer this hangs there. It has happened before. When I interviewed him he said that he wanted to be put in a home when the time came, that he wanted to be responsible only for himself. I understand that too, though my own fear of having that happen to me is immense. So much loss awaits us all. Can we care?
