I keep re-reading your lines Maureen as I recently lost a dear friend to alcohol poisoning. He was only 55. Your work hits home with me. Be well. Brian

Glad to know that you loved it :-) Mam I didn't mean to highlight your age by using the word " elder".:-\ Your words and poetry shows your too young at heart:-) It's my culture here in India.

...I loved it... “elder” is a new one for me, kinda like it though ;), xomo!

Hello Maureen mam, I think you easily guessed me..it's only me who calls you mam from the beginning I suppose;-)I love giving respect to elders by addressing them as sir or mam rather than simply by their names. Bike courier for 2 decades?..quiet a difficult job. Did you enjoy your task? Your always a sweet Mo mam to me because you are a strong " She" :-)is'nt it?! It's great to see you share few of your moments each time with me.Wish we could talk more. Btw..i like when you call me "lovely" I can feel your love and care mam:-) Enjoy your day.Much love ~Deepa

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 7/23/2020 5:56:00 AM

Thank you Lovely! btw, I love “mam”, I was a bike courier for two decades and was called “sir” countless times, “mam”... only twice ;), A lovely day to you! xomo

I grew up with an alcoholic father, so I know that tentative bubble well, this is so rich and poignant-

Mo hugs. I was lucky in the dad department, 3 out of 3 were good to me ;), Thank you. I am just about at my wits end, wondering if I would still be here if my brain was healthier and not financially dependent, and that is sad. So, working on my brain... And, more mo hugs <3
