For some reason this title keeps going through my mind. You know it will happen but when it does, it is still a jolt. My Mom went an entire day without calling me yesterday. She always calls me 6 times a day, forgetting sometimes that she just called or calls because she is bored and doesn't know what to do with herself. But yesterday, no call. She had her Day Out and I knew all was ok, but still, not the usual. So I called her to check in later in the afternoon, she actted like I don't live here and was calling from out of town. When I told her no I'm down the street,she was surprised and said how delighted she was to have someone here and guessed she wouldn't have to move afterall.
Just so weird how the brain can erase something and pencil in something else, until it decides to erase that too.
We are seeing Mom digress quickly and I wonder just where we'll be this time next year. I'm not "down" really, just contemplative and trying to accept these new changes. Trying not to look back at what was and trying not to think too far into the future either.
Perhaps today, she will know who I am and where I live.......and then again, maybe it will be worse. Kinda like a playing poker, you never know what your kind of hand your going to have on any given day.
