Cancer

The skill you have not used in years is still there, waiting in your hands like muscle memory that never quite forgets. What changes is not the ability itself but your willingness to need it again, to let yourself be the person who knows how to do this particular thing. You have been careful about when and for whom you offer what you can do, and that care has kept the skill clean, uncompromised by routine use. The people who will benefit from what you remember how to do are closer than you think, and they are not asking because they do not know you still carry it.
