She said to me
You'll always remember This Time of the …. And she couldn't find The words So we searched Together You'll always remember This Time of the Eclipse As the time I... And I forget Her words Because I didn't want to hear Didn't want to know That this was it Wanting My mom To live Even In this state Forever Because This Was Better Than Nothing “This can't go on forever” She said Not fair Because I wish it could “I want to see the fall” She says Same convo How bout some summer sun, Mom? Then Suddenly She can't walk anymore Nurses say Don't Get Up I tell her As your body Gets weaker Your Spirit Stronger No Avoiding Inevitable Road She's on We're all on So I sit With her Hold her hand Hold ground For her Unconscious Mind Integration of Life Before we cross over Themes of our existence Pass before us Calling To be understood And healed “We all do the best we can” All of us Best we can With what we've got All of us dealt Hard deck “What's the score?” She asked me While talking to my sister On the phone yesterday Her wittiness Sense of humor With her Always What's the score? In other words What happened today That I felt so alone And abandoned In that one moment With a house full of people And yet That happens Every day Not just When we are dying So we reassure her We are all here for her Doing our very best We are all here for her Each of us Doing our best Offering what each of us Has to give What I can say About my mom? Some days House full of visitors She is truly Loved By many A good friend Is she She taught me Love your friends For they are Big part Of our world And I do Love my friends Family We chose For ourselves What else? A free spirit With an intellectual mind That Grandma Mary Her children And grandchildren That's our gift too From her We may Strive For the balance Of that And yet We all strive For balance Of our gifts Of who we are She told me You'll Always Remember This …..Eclipse.... As The Time I.... And I will Always Remember This Eclipse Of Spring 2014 As The Time My Mom Eclipsed Us For death Is real Only for Those Left Behind

Hi friends, I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative." This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family! Archives
