I hear this one loud and clear. Resonates deeply---although not with my own mother...Plaintive, my excellent friend. Best always, Gershon

Aw thanks dear. S'ok. I wrote this when she was dying a decade ago, amidst the family turmoil. I had decided not to post it when I joined the Soup and forgot about it; Gershon's epigram brought it to mind. xomo
