Portrait From A Waiting Room
The Story
We struck up a conversation while sitting in the doctors office and he had that look like whatever he was there for it wasn't good. It was equal parts fear, fatigue and worry and he had tired eyes and a heavy heart and as he motioned to the windows to compliment the early warm spell, I could see his hands shake like a man much older and much weaker and when the nurse called his name he stood and shook my hand and thanked me for talking to him and I thanked him back and standing there in the sunlight it looked like all the fear was gone and in that moment I was glad that I was there to be part of it all.
... Enjoy!
