The End ……of the Beginning

My mother is 92………

I’m not her favorite

but for now I’ll have to do

watching from across the room

I watch her fade as the minutes pass

we loved each other…. But didn’t always like each other

She was fearful as a result of things in her early childhood…..I’ll leave it at that

I wouldn’t buy into that mindset and I revolted

but those things are very vague now….. getting older has mellowed me and I am keen to recognize that what they did give me ……a faith………washed away the bad memories

so my beginning…….. my mother……

 

is going back to where she came from …..Cleveland Tennessee but she won’t be driving….

much to process now that I’m at the End of the Beginning

The End of the Beginning
