Redundancy

More than is needed... You think?  So, just for fun and just because my brain is funny that way... Redundancy is like a photographer taking a picture of someone taking a picture.  Or a writer writing about writing.  Or, as I heard on the radio this morning, a study taken of a study about whether those in the political field talk about religion too much.  Who comes up with this stuff?  Redundancy could also be talking about redundancy....

It fills her with an emotion hard to put into words.  This is the one who left her side all night to be there for an older, lonely woman in the back of an ambulance and then after returning to town hours later, turning around and taking a mom with a very sick two year old to another town, [a very tired mom who was wanting a few precious hours of sleep as much as the baby would allow the EMT to care for her/him.]      Sometimes words of affirmation aren't enough to express the sentiments the wife feels for her husband.  She wants to say a lot, to say every emotion that fills her heart through the hours of the cold, lonely night.  She wants to express her anger and defeat after not
