Fat deposits Accumulated around the hips And sides of the waist Were defined as love handles Muffin tops and spare tires During our earlier years Now we redefine them as Grab bars
My husband Tom has PLS, akin to ALS and I am his Caregiver. The recent article In Sickness and in Health by Marvin Wiebener was so well written and such a blessing to us as we share the diagnosis and the marital devotedness.
Tom and I were amused recently when the grab bars in our bathroom inspired a fun word play of definition. We survive keeping it light and humorous. I typed it up as a CareVerse submission.
