It hurt, sometimes, to turn down the party invitations.  Not that he received many, but Hodges was ever hopeful.

Still, he had bigger responsibilities.  David set the table with the holiday dishes and lit the Advent wreath his mother insisted upon.

The whir of her wheelchair’s motor made him turn, and he returned her lopsided smile.  “It smells good,” she told him, her words slurred but her voice warm.   

“Of course.  I was taught by the best.”  David took his seat, and started cutting up her dinner.
 
Yes, he might regret those refused invitations, but some things were more important.
