Wheelchairs

While I was shopping at the grocery store I saw a woman, maybe in her 60's, pushing her elderly mother in a wheelchair and pulling a shopping cart behind her. I wondered if she knows how fortunate she is. Does she feel the burden of taking her mom shopping or does she see the beauty in it? The love? The opportunity of having those moments. I envied her and smiled at her fortune.

What I wouldn't have given to have a life where I was needed in that way by my father. I hope that women feels gratitude because I would give almost anything to push my white haired father around a grocery store. To take care of him and know that we had a long life together.

I never got to see my father's hair turn white.
