Although Al Purdy was writing about one ill person and a sense of helplessness, the lesson I choose to take from this part of the larger poem is universal and particularly fits today: we have a responsibility to care for each other, be present and aware of pain and suffering, and not let go of issues that affect our most vulnerable fellow humans.

Sometimes referred to as International Chocolate Day and celebrated since 2009.

But today is a good day! Lots of love to all the dad's out there!
