Magical Thinking and Hope

My husband and his brother Jere

Today was kind of a mish-mash of things and doings. We are in Florida visiting my husband Leo's brother  who is now in hospice. While I like Jere, I have to admit it is hard to see him looking so frail and seeing how this hurts my husband. We have been told several times that "this will probably be the last time you see him" but he keeps defying the odds, beating both Alzheimer's and cancer at the same time. It is pretty amazing in many ways yet still sad in others.
