Role
I feel low today
Woke up with a mild fever
Clogged nose and back ache
I needed to rest and stay in bed
These past days have been stressful
And the light rain the other day
Has soaked my head cover
When we went to visit the cemetery
That must have caused this fever
And feeling of fatigue I felt this morning
But I had to get up
And move and do my role
I prepared my husband's lunch
Washed the sheets that have been waiting for days to be laundered
And waited for the afternoon to serve his snack
He is still not in good shape to do things for himself
So I have to do most things for him
I'm not complaining
This role comes with the package
When I entered the world of matrimony
To serve him as best I can
In sickness or in health
For richer or for poorer
Until death do us part
Woke up with a mild fever
Clogged nose and back ache
I needed to rest and stay in bed
These past days have been stressful
And the light rain the other day

And feeling of fatigue I felt this morning
But I had to get up
And move and do my role
I prepared my husband's lunch

And waited for the afternoon to serve his snack
He is still not in good shape to do things for himself
So I have to do most things for him

This role comes with the package
When I entered the world of matrimony
To serve him as best I can
In sickness or in health
For richer or for poorer
Until death do us part

Dear S,
I admire and appreciate this responsibility and devotion. I’ve been known to do it myself. On occasion. I hope you are feeling better and taking care of yourself. I fear sometimes as women we give ourselves the short end of the stick caring for everyone but ourselves, until death do us in.
Feel better. H🌷
