On Sunday I finally finished It’s Kind of A Funny Story. There were so many moments in that book that I could relate to, but you can click here and read our IKOAFS review for more deets.
There was one section in the book that really got to me and made my Sunday a trip down memory lane.
When Craig is having his first meal at the hospital he describes the food. If you’ve ever been around when a hospital patient gets their meal delivered you’ll know what he’s talking about. I know I did.
On page 171 he says, “a coffee (I can tell, because the lid is stained with coffee.”
On page 205, “Besides the chicken and vegetables, the tray has coffee, hot water, a teabag, milk, sugar, salt, pepper, juice, yogurt and a cookie.”
At the end of page 205, I stared at the words for a long time. Just stared, because all I could think about was that if you added an Ensure and made the chicken and vegetables pureed I’d be looking at my grandmother’s tray of food. Over a year ago.
