As they rolled her out from therapy where we were sitting in the waiting area, tears welled up in my eyes. My daughter started a light quiet sob and I could read the sadness on my son’s face. Our beloved Mamaw gazed off into the distance as if she wasn’t there in her mind; so…
Poem: Invite
The reception is planned, Who do you invite? Friends, relatives, or neighbors, Who have a fortunate plight?
