Mother, time has shaped and scraped us

Your experiences were different than mine

Often we neither understood nor accepted each other and that created tension that could have been avoided but we both were stubborn

I was a challenge to parent…. And the defiant attitude challenged direction and I paid a price for my insubordination

watching you confined to your hospital bed attached to various monitors lends itself to reflection and self appraisal…….many thoughts of past actions are painful and regretted

the quest for me has always been and will always be one of self and emotional stability……something I am still pursuing

I pray for your recovery and healing…… if we are fortunate to have more days together perhaps we can set aside all those things that don’t matter and enjoy the blessing of having each other and being grateful for that

The Reckoning
