Faulty Connections (Guest Blog)

By: Deanna Rousseau Causey


Fifty and some odd years they’ve been together

More than half a century
In the beginning there was such expectation
Sharing secrets and meals
Beds and dreams
Vows exchanged and promises made
Children delivered
Family dynamics
She kept the house and cooked the meals
Fetched drinks and picked up dirty clothes off the floor
Made herself invisible because she hated what she saw
Lonely but pushed everyone away
Except for her man
He was her world, her lifeline, her connection

Fifty and some odd years they’ve been together
More than half a century
She sits in her wheelchair in a strange room
Wondering about the vows exchanged and promises made
Nothing is familiar
Strangers bathe and dress her
She hasn’t fetched or picked up in a long time
Even the power to be invisible loses it’s usefulness
Everyone is invisible here
Lonely is the constant
And where is her man? Her world? Her lifeline? Her connection?
He visits for 30 minutes, makes small talk and goes home
Where he feels free
Someone else keeps the house and cooks the meals
The connection long broken.
