Bunk Mates

Rather hasty bus trip booked with no time to consider hotel stay, an

Offer by nurse made from kindness: bunking on a

Cardiology unit where patients wear peek-a-boob gowns, you

Kept making me feel like a mirage, but

You are worth it, just like the

View of the magnificent thunderstorm from your hospital window

I could not sleep a wink from the unit sounds, but was happy to be near you

Eating in the cafeteria, playing Skip-Bo in your room, and chatting: remember

When we slept in the back of your SUV on the way to Radium last year?

Getting to dote on you today, hearing your compliments on my back massage skills, I

Enjoy these things, you are worth it

Now, time to take that bus back home

Estimated arrival time extended on the highway, they had to

Radio 7 emergency vehicles, traffic was backed up for over an hour

After that, we cruised through Leduc with a beautiful orange sunset, only to

Lag in heavy traffic with the Canada Day crowds back home—you are worth it!
