Light on

"It's not our house!" mum said resolutely. For only one night, the first night after we were moved into the private room, did we sleep with the lights completely off.

Mum didn't sleep well that night. She was scared. We are after all in a hospital. Who knows how many people have "moved on" from this place, who knows who wanders around these hallways and rooms after midnight...

"Just leave one light on..." she said. And I'll respect her wish, even though it makes it difficult for me to sleep well.
