Theodore “I am her angel of dignity:,
feeding her pudding,
changing her diaper
wheeling her through the
garden.
My dear son is significantly handicapped and I often wonder about my own care at the end. But this is the young man who always gives me dandelions with love. I believe I will be “wheeled … through [my own] garden.” Thank you for the lovely poem.
