January 26th

AND
if I am tempted to feel BAD 
I'm reminding myself 
when my therapist's mother
who he SUPER loved
was
DYING 
they asked her where she wanted to go for her final less than a month
&
she said 
she wanted to spend it in her daughter's 
guest room looking out over the water

these are rich people 
with resources to 
HIRE care

she wasn't being asked to be a caregiver 
just make her guest room available 

& she said
NO
you don't LIVE HERE 

which I thought
was cruel 
BUT 
none of them thought it was even unusual
