The Daily Jumble

the daily jumble, mom sends,
must know, i must get —
as she gets the treatment.
starting to be a regular thing
the ordinary...
how odd!
like cleaning teeth -
my sis has that today,
like coming home -
her son.
but reminded that
mom has cancer.
would love to send that “son”
packing!

I wish that the "son" would be eradicated in everyone's family, Kim. Nice one.

Every day is a "jumble" of blessings, challenges, and God's mercies. God bless you and your family as you take one day at a time. Hugs ~ John

No, everybody’s great. That “son” is cancer. But your right about cancer.
