Holding his throbbing hand,
he sat counting his stitches.
He understood that the pain
from the surgery
would only be temporary,
but hated the annoyance of it all.
One hand typing
slowed him down
and he felt useless
around the house.
Until he saw two
kind, little words
in a note -
“Feel Better”
she wrote.

Always nice to know someone cares.
I loved that!
Ooh, if this is non-fiction, and I suspect it is, I hope you mend up quick. Looks like you have people rooting for you! :)

PS - When you counted, I hope you didn't find that there were "55" stitches...(sorry, couldn't resist...I do wish you well, truly!!)
Thats so sweet Mojo..
Your Kiddies are definately the greatest medicine
Loved your 55 Brother..

Uh, G-man, Mojo is another blogger. Old age must have you confusing me with someone else. Thanks for the comment anyway.
ah, i've been in that situation. so glad you got such sweet encouragement. means the world, doesn't it?
great 55, we could all use a little gratitude these days, i got one up this week too
Ah, nice... bless the writer of that little note.
Nice. I feel a bit better :)
It looks like everyone is feeling good tonight. Cool 55 and everything is alright.
A little kindness means everything sometimes, doesn't it? This captured it beautifully.
(I love the illustration!)
This is so sweet!
I feel better already. And I bet you do too. See you Sunday.
Nice and sweet!
My word verification is "BUSIMO", which is what you shout (instead of Geronimo) when you're jumping off a moving bus.
Thanks for another 55! :)
Mine's posted right here.
I'm so sorry MM...
You are much more mature than Mojo!

Aw, sweet and thoughtful.
The kind of note you want to find.
Nice one.

Amazing how kind words can be the best treasure for changing the whole world view!
That's lovely. Even two words can be very moving.
I turned nostalgic this week.

Keep the hand out of the running food processor and
A) You won't be typing one handed
and B) the downside...you don't get notes reminding you that you are loved.
Greetings.A Great 55!
warm and fuzzy
mines up too
Two little words...but big with emotion.
that was sweet of her. Hope the hand gets better!
Oh no...my poor dear primate friend. I hope that your little monkey hand mends fast. A kind word when feeling sick or sore, goes are very long way. It's nice to know that someone cares. Get well soon!
This is just sooo sweet!
We have a chalk board at home as well and sometimes i find a nice little note - and it makes my day...
Nice, nice, nice.
happy weekend.

Minor surgery is what happens to somebody else. It's major if it happens to me. I hope you're typing with 2 hands real soon.
Cee
I want to know how you hurt your hand...or is this fiction?
I hope you feel better if it's not.
:(
I love those little notes...takes your mind of the pain. :)
the best medicine!
she matters,
her words are magical...
it makes all the difference.
fabulous 55.
Now that's love! If this is a "true" 55, then I hope you feel better soon too!

Ah, tis the simple acts of kindness which mean the most....like the words you left for me. Thanks!
Aw, that is so sweet. We have a little blackboard in my house too, although usually it says things like "Chris wants to watch a movie; do we have anything good?" or "Chris wants to know what's for dinner!" :P
