she is fading
and it’s sad to watch
my mother by her side
every night
we really have no idea
what is next
and that is undoubtedly
the scariest part
of the entire process
the last in our family
of her generation
she is fading
and I can only hope
her husband
of fifty plus years
is waiting for her on
the other side
in some form
everyone feels different
as we watch
the process unfold
everyone of us remembers her
in different ways
I am the oldest grandchild
and she said my name
two days ago
in response to a kiss on her forehead
she is fading
surrounded by love...
