-Thanks for the notes about Cindy, Jesse.
-I am sorry she is going through this,
and it impacts on you, as well.
-I hope it is helpful writing about it.
-Your analogy in the opening verse is very good,
and shows how you are feeling adrift and unsure.
-Is she in the hospital or is the care outpatient?
-I like your verse about the "new dawn" and
hope that she is cured, as well.
-Take care and be well.

I am sorry to hear about the changing current for yourself and for your caregiver. The poem you have written relays the emotional turbulence you now feel and the vulnerability at hand. I like how you have used a kite to create the scene and sense of being left to drift off into the unknown. Prayers and thank you for sharing.

Sometimes we just need to write a poem to help free our mind of dreadful things. You have done a good job at doing this. I have sent out a prayer for Cindy.

We all must support those that also need us, Jesse. A friend is someone that no matter what is there for you. When I go to sleep I'll send a prayer to God above to help her in her time of need and that you as a friend help her as she helps you. Thanks for sharing.

Your poem sums your feelings up very well. The image of an untethered kite blowing about willy nilly is a very good one which expresses your feelings very well. I am sorry to hear of Cindy's illness. I'll say a prayer for her tonight and ask God to heal her. You, my friend, must stay focussed.
I've read your words telling of how much Cindy means to you which is very sweet, but try to show her (if you can) how you can go on without her. Let her see that her support has improved your condition. I know you're feeling a bit lost right now without her there to guide you
but she'll be back/ Stay on course, pray for yourself and Cindy, Never under estimate the Power of Prayer. I have seen miraculous things happen through it. cheers Cass

You have experienced a year of challenges, including this latest diagnosis of your caregiver. It is amazing how strong you have remained through it all. I'm sorry to realize how this diagnosis affects both of you. However, you have expressed your sincere and heartfelt feelings in this poignant poem. Thank you for the update. My prayers are for both of you.

I do understand and I will pray not only for Cindy but for you. I know how it feels to be out of control
unsupported and unloved. I know it's not true, but I understand the feeling. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, Jesse, that is a tragic turn of event. I'm so sorry this has happened to both of you. What will happen now? Will.you be allocated a new caregiver? I'm so very sorry. All best, Ulla:)))

Jesse, so sorry about Cindy; hopefully, she will get better. You give your reader the same feelings of an untethered kite in your poignant and heartfelt words.
So beautifully expressed.
Best wishes
Mary
