happy Mother’s Day

Cute Local Farmers Market. 

Once upon a time, they were  basic. 

And essential. 

Not high-end retail. 

This one is great! 

Fanciest thing they had was 

Duck Eggs. I got a dozen. 

Vote at the Church. 

More great sleep. 

And crazy dreams. 

I like waking up refreshed. 

It makes the next day

Sooooo much easier. 

I called my Mother on Mother’s Day 

In 2002. The Sherrif answered. 

She said my mother was gone. 

“Gone.”

She couldn’t make herself say 

She was dead. 

“Dead.”  

I always wish that moment had gone 

Easier. A fumbled delivery 

Is never good. 

I’ve given a few in my Hospice Career. 

It stays with you forever. 

Dear Mother. 

I wish you could see me now. 

I was so angry, and heavy-

I was overwhelmed and 

Overweight and Over the top. 

I was a total Bitch. A “Karen.” 

Being kind and sober

 is a much better way. 

Food sobriety. 

Money sobriety. 

Discipline sobriety. 

Energy sobriety. 

Not being a jerk- sobriety. 

Happy Mother’s Day 

To all the Moms!
