quietly invading unseen,
to devour completely...

and HE...
grew thinner...

That happened to my husband too.

Sicknesses are do devastating for the patient who is awaiting the moment that he/she knows is inevitably coming and the loved ones who are watching helplessly as their loved one slips away.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is so sad...and creative in the way you expressed the gravity of what this disease does...how it just eats away...like in "the sick rose" by blake....

[jeannemarie coulter]

thank you for the kind words...i reread the sick rose...thank you for the reminder...
