Under the watchful eyes of Chris and myself, Kate would take her pill, then carefully Chris would help her from the chair to the bed and tuck the covers in around her frail body. Observing this act of love, I would th

All their lives they have slept together, but in a nursing home, theyre expected to sleep in single beds. Overnight theyre deprived of a comfort of a lifetime. How very foolish such policies are,

5、I would think as I watched Chris reach up and turn off the light above Kates bed. Then tenderly he would bend, and they would kiss gently. Chris would pat her cheek, and both would smile. He would pull up the side rail on her bed, and only then would he turn and accept his own medication. As I walke

6、d into the hall, I could hear Chris say, Good night, Kate, and her returning voice, Good-night, Chris, while the space of an entire room separated their two beds.

Taking her hands in mine, I said, Kate, its Phyllis.Her eyes never shifted; she only stared. I placed my hand under her chin and slowly turned her head so she had to look at me. Kate, I just

8、 found out about Chris. Im so sorry. At the word Chris, her eyes came back to life. She looked at me, puzzled, as though wondering how I had suddenly appeared. s me, Phyllis. Im so sorry about Chris.Recognition and sadness flooded her face. Tears welled up and slid down her cheeks. Chris is gone, sh

Then gradually the staff worked her back into the old schedule. Often, as I went past her room, I would observe Kate sitting in her chair, scrapbooks on her lap, gaz

Although she was allowed to move from her bed to Chriss bed, and although the staff chatted and laughed with her as they tucked her in for the night, still Kate remained silent and sadly withdrawn.
