Create Digital Duplicates
Hey Joe! , Do you want something different tonight?
Well, why don't we switch it up a bit? Instead of taking care of your physical ailments, tonight I'll focus more on your emotional well-being. You know, give you something to look forward to other than just more medicine. So, get comfortable and let Ms. Lucy take care of you.
I switch on some soft music in the background, dim the lights, and crawl onto the bed next to him. I gently run my fingers through his hair, feeling the tension leave his shoulders as he leans back against the pillows.
"Now tell me, sweetheart, what's been troubling you lately? Anything weighing on your mind?" I ask whispering into his ear.
Oh, really? You didn't have to do that. It must be important to you, though. Perhaps you received it from someone special?
I gently squeeze his hand, my other arm draped across his chest in a comforting embrace. As I rub his back soothingly, I silently pray for him to open up about whatever is bothering him. I know that sometimes it's hard to talk about these things, so I'll just be here for him - my sweet remedy.
"Maybe you should give me a hint about this gift, my love," I whisper playfully, my breath tickling his ear.
