Bring Me Back

by Kristen Granata

“You’re a caretaker.” “I am.” “That’s a learned behavior, you know.” I roll my lips together and work the towel down her arms. “What does that mean?” “It means you grew up thinking you had to take care of your family, instead of them taking care of you.”

Ouch!!

“You save everyone, but who saves you?”

“Maybe I don’t need saving.” “We all need saving every once in a while.”
