Every year Mama went to Switzerland to ski. One year she hit a tree and came back with a broken collar bone and shoulder. Later she developed laryngitis. She wasn’t able to move or speak for over a week. Mama silent and immobile….good times those were.

The Rest of Her Life

Looking Forward

She said today is the first day of the rest of her life
As if something from yesterday faded away
And a new hope had been born.
As if today’s sunrise forever burned out midnight hours and
Melted cold hard tears that slowly fell down the window of her eyes.
Today is the first day of the rest of her life.
How could she know?
How can she be so sure?
Confident, tall, proudly she saunters across the alley way to the market where fresh peaches and spring flowers line the walk.
A smile crosses her face and is contagious to his.
“Today!” she says.
Today? He says.
“Yes, the rest of my life.”
So sure.
She’s sure.
