A Caretaker's Really Rough Day
12:00 AM February 29, 2016 I was already up. I could hear him moaning in pain as he moved to get up. Granted I was up all night on my phone because I couldn't sleep. I get up, help him out of his chair, he hobbles to the bathroom. I fix his chair pillow and blanket and when he comes out he's almost in tears because his leg is so bad. He plops down, moaning in pain, and I administer 2 mg of morphine. He thanks me, I kiss his head, and linger until he's drifted off to a restless sleep again. Back to bed, I go.

We walked up the pavement that led to my house, my aunt following closely behind us. Walking through the front door felt weird and wrong,. It was as if a part of me was scared to be there.
