Before I took this beautiful bouquet to my mom
because my camera
is apparently taking its last slow breaths
There the arrangement sits
in a place of honor
beside the bag of spinach
Jocile,
I thought you'd like to see
what you and I gave mom
She was surprised and quite pleased
I think she liked the pink carnations and pink roses, especially
She read and reread and reread the card I wrote for her
I passed along your message of love for her
The written word is what she clings to these days
I also took my boom box over
with my rehearsal tape and
sang her a solo
I am singing a song called "As A Mother" in church today
So I rehearsed it for her
Because it was not a familiar song to her
I think she had already forgotten that I sang
by the time I left her Friday evening
Oh well
I think she enjoyed it
in the moment
