About Hearts


"Is Great Uncle Abe still in the hospital, Mom?"

"He's living in a nursing home now where he can have people take care of him all the time."

"Can he still walk?"

"Not by himself anymore. He has something called congestive heart failure and he's 97 so his body is weaker and isn't working as well as the last time we saw him."

"Mom? Is his heart breaking?"

"A little at a time."

"I think it helps him if I think about him. I'm going to think about him."
