Just another first person post to wish you all a good night from me and Elsie.

Elsie is the miraculous personal care assistant sent to us from Kelly Care. My dad has long needed someone to stay to watch out for him overnight, if only so that anyone else in the house can rest.

So now, I sit next to Elsie. She is a home health worker who is from - I kid you not - from Mississippi.

She and Daddy have a lot to talk about, and all of the sudden, something that can feel invasive and foreign, somehow feels - familiar.

Good night, all. I'm going to sleep. Say good night prayers that Daddy will get rest too.
