My Favorite Nurse

I'm a "no nonsense - tell it like it is" person. When my Real Husband was ill we had some hard times and some really funny times. It wasn't ever easy for anybody to tell him things he didn't want to hear and even harder for most everybody when he was ill.

One day my favorite Home Health Care nurse arrived. He loved her because she was strong. When she walked in the door he let her know that he was mad at me because I wouldn't take him to his college reunion.

She said, "Honey, you're not going anywhere. You're dying."

He laughed and said, "Oh yeah, I forgot."
