When I consider every item completely...with the exception of my mind (which is a physical attribute but so much more), I think I love my hands the most.
My hands:
* Enabled me to administer insulin shots and care for my father from the age of 4
* Taught me how to coax music from a violin at 5
* Found food for me....when I was hungry...at 6
* Got me into cheerleading when I was 10
* Showed me how to play tuba at 12
* Closed my father's casket at 13
* Blocked a knife coming for my face when I was 16
* Got me through LOTS of terrible math and Chemistry from ages 17-20
* Taught me how to exercise (even with rheumatoid arthritis) at 23
* Comforted my mother when she was sick, and my stepfather died, at 25
* Displayed my new wedding ring at 28
...and the list will continue.
TY, Red...for reminding me that life is precious.
