ON THE PHONE–arranging, calling, sending voice memos–THE REQUEST

AT THE DOOR–welcoming, hugs and kisses, greetings–THE PORT

 a sick host might let you let yourself in… 
                …you might already have a key from taking care of the host or their surroundings from time to time.
                …but is equally picky with their trust.         Countless times systems have not been in place, or served the purpose of sheltering those that needed it. So, the sick host might be riddled with protocols that sometimes help, sometimes don’t, but serve as a safety net nonetheless.
                …and consult the haunting of past encounters, to recon whether this is a route to be taken.   
 A sick host and their guests benefit from making their sickness, vulnerabilities, and needs known.
