I haven't seen my mom in a couple weeks now.
I miss her.
When she's in town, I'm working.
When I'm not at work, she's long gone.
I don't like it, but we must live with it.
Tonight when I got out of the bathtub and was putting on my pajamas, laughing to myself about something on my mind, I caught sight of myself in the half open mirror on the medicine cabinet, and it was her.
The sandy curls, crystal blue eyes, the pointy chin, the pink nail polish: Mom!
Nope, it's me.
We're twins, I know, but that could have been her.
Mama, darlin', I'm looking forward to next weekend.
You and me and Sam, and Jay and Dad, and all the kids.
Sigh.
I'll give Sam a bath this week--she definitely needs one.
love forever, Val
