I felt almost like a kid being told she could take the family car for a ride herself. Maybe her sassiness worked. I thought. because I did get myself over to the vanity table and brushed my hair. Then, surprised at how hungry I was. I wheeled out of the room and down the corridor.

Finally. I felt like I was home.

Perhaps it was because we were in the kitchen and not in my hospital-like bedroom, but while I ate my breakfast. Mrs. Bogart became more talkative, especially about herself. She ate her breakfast with me and told me about some of her former patients. One was particularly sad: a twelve-year-old boy with multiple sclerosis who died while she was caring for him.

She came from a small town north of Richmond and had never left the state of Virginia. She told me she had spent most of her teenage years and early twenties caring for her father: the men with whom she did develop some sort of romantic relationship eventually grew tired of sharing her energy and attention with him.

"Some people are just meant to spend their whole lives taking care of other people. I guess," she concluded. "At least. I'm not ashamed of it."
