As I was alone

My daughter left home two weeks ago. I was down with fever, cough, sore throat and a mild asthma attack. I looked up for a doctor and was asked to put on antibiotics and medication to stop the cough and to relieve my asthma.
As I was staying alone at home, I caught the sight of an adorable praying mantis which flew into my house through the window panes. I brought it into my bedroom. It seems to have fellow feeling on me.
Oh, good grief! It came to accompany me during these silent, loneliest nights while I was sick on bed. I was lifted up by its presence. I spent a few nights dawdling with it. Look at the photos I have taken! Is it so adorable?
