any change since I saw you yesterday?


this has been such a long road, and I'm glad you've had some good visiting time lately.


I have an image frozen in my mind of her sitting in the kitchen of the store with two children in her lap, their faces burrowed in the fullness of her neck and breast. the abundance of love, the completeness of that family unit, the simple joy of another gathering. I know I'll always hold that image in my heart when I think of her.
