It is late. See you tomorrow.
Okay so it's not tomorrow but almost a year later. It's a long story. My 91 year old mother died October 1, 2013, and I am sorry to see her go from my life. However, she was quite ill, physically and mentally, didn't know who I was all the time, but she was in a happy, yet imaginary place, she created where she could spend her last days. It was funny at times when she would talk about the people in the room or men trying to break in the house. My favorite was the noisy neighbor whom I called Mrs. Cravitz, a la Bewitched, who would use a pencil to break the window by the front door to get in and listen to her conversations. Weird.
Scary thing is. I am a lot like my mother in many ways. Have I seen my future? I'm doing crossword puzzles, going to the gym twice a week, and using meditation recordings to relax and correct for the grief I must be feeling. The funeral is next Friday, October 11.
.........
I will be back with more musings and reflections from the boomer world. Now I must write a final exam for the writing class I am teaching. Keeping my mind active and remembering that time is always moving whether we are or not, is motivating.
