The way you wove the detailed cooking and cleaning up into the fiber of this story is just magical, Bryan. As a self-styled writer, I admit to feeling total envy of your expertise. Wow.
If, instead of "Bob", you had used "Sharron" it would be a near match to my own life. Rome, Genoa, Bologna, New Orleans, Budapest, Lisbon, slipping into the caring for a beloved old one. And now, the world seen only through a lace-trimmed, unwashed window. It is "a taste of something sweet, sweeter than any thrill [she] had chased." Oh my. You got to me this morning.
