~*~Mother's Day Musings~*~

Had only I had been more observant.

Had only I had been more astute.

I wish I had become more like my Mother

Cancer is an adversarial foe, but Alzheimer's is the quintessential resignation, the ultimate defeat when you forget how to fight so submit.

Even though you do not remember me, I 'll always remember.
