He is Fragile

My husband needs my help to get ready for a shower. He is currently sporting three different dressings that need to be kept dry.

I don't mind helping him, but I kind of hate seeing him without clothes on these days.

He's so thin.

He looks so fragile; looks as if he could break like a twig.

As I bend over him lying on our bed, affixing waterproof dressing coverings, I see how much his body has been through. How much it is still going through.

And there is a major surgery on the horizon....

He's so fragile, I think.

But no, he's so strong!

LOOK at how much he's been through.

Both are true.

My husband is both strong and fragile.
