Not alone

The value of taking care of such an ill and severely disabled child does not lie in the ability to stave death for as long as possible, neither in the spare good moments, in between the suffering, that shine like little diamonds of near bliss from amongst the darkness. It lies in the fact that we undertook this indescribably difficult voyage together, voluntarily, so that in being together we will never be alone.
