Taking Care

"Have another bite," she encouraged him as she held up a spoonful of applesauce.

His mouth was closed tightly, and he shook his head.

"Come on; you like this."

He hit her hand and the applesauce went flying.

"Was that really necessary?  Okay, if you don't want to eat, then let's get ready for bed."

She took his hand and led him to the bathroom where she helped him brush his teeth.

Then she changed his diaper and put on his pajamas.

After she had tucked him in bed, she lay down next to a husband who had forgotten her.
