Looks like everybody came through Mother's day intact. Even the Motherless. Well, maybe. Talked with a friend I've known a thousand years, ok ok not a thousand years, just since the 70s when folk were much nicer... we talked about the feelings that are as close as our hands, as easy as the breath we take without thinking...that loss. And we saw the strength of character Not to go crazy or drugged out in that loss all these years. Some people do not come through the experience so intact. Known her for a thousand years. Love her like a sister I wish I had. So I call her "sister."
