Carrying On

Nice sunny day again today with a light breeze. 
Needed to see the doctor today about something small and in the course of our conversation he told me he had buried his wife last Saturday. It's a very physical phrase, often used here for a death. I had been away last weekend and hadn't known. He has sons, daughters and grandchildren, so a lot of support. I was struck though, that he, in his seventies, was back at work a few days later, doing what he's always done, helping people like me.
