sweet, sweet music

early this morning i took a chance and texted her

then my house filled with sweet music

the music of my sweet daughter's voice

'Smile, You've Got Mail'

over and over again


she said that she feels 'ok' and that she's on the mask

-that's the 'trach mask' that they are using to wean her

-having her breath on her own, without the ventilator

it's work, -work that must be done

she told me she's watching tv and 'chillin''

i told her about tonight's Big Event here in Long Beach

she said 'cool'

what else do teenagers say?


so, great

who needs nurses for details

when you've got a cell phone and a sweetheart
