This is epic in more ways than one, from the descriptive phrases, the way it shifts from what you see, what you feel, to thoughts of Lynn, to the intensity of your writing and the thanks for the day, one to store in the memory bank and I won't forget, the heat pump, which I guess started the whole process.

I hope you're healing well in more ways than one. When we get to a certain age, it's "did she fall over" or "did she have a fall!"
Glad you were well enough to write.
