I Guess I have changed

I took care of Pearl and Gus for a few days this week.

As I drove them home on Sunday night I was grooving to the radio and belting out Chaka Kahn's "Ain't Nobody".

"Ain't nobody loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody loves me better than you"


A bit later, Pearl turned to me and said in a very matter of fact way, "You've changed Ezbeth."

"What do you mean, Pearl? I always sing at the top of my lungs with you guys in the car."

"No, since the cancer, you've change."

"Is that a good or bad thing?"

"Ummm. I don't know. It is just that you have changed since the cancer."

I think she nailed it. I have changed.

It isn't anything that I can pinpoint either, but I do know I can feel it on the inside, and so can she. And when a 10 year old randomly says these things out of thin air, you know it has to be true!

BTW, you can thank me later for not being able to get Ain't Nobody out of your head!
