Memories . .
Continued from Page 8
Seems like I watched you there for
hours. You returned my gaze with a quizzi
cal kind of smile that slapped down my
illusion of timelessness with an everyday
sigh. You explained that a sense of person
al past is somehow pointless in the moun
tains. It must be cold up there now, without
any kind of real heat in your cabin. I guess
you'll do fine though; you're strong. I can
still feel your strong hands on the back of
my neck working the tension down while
you hummed that old nursery rhyme, and
how easy it was to get caught up in the re
frain, April, come she will ... It rather
pointedly talked about change, did it not?
Getting your note today made me stop

again with a sense of growing older, and
apart. We're both feeling a little older, but
it could be the weather or simply the lack
of touch over the last few years that makes
it so. I no longer have a keen grasp on the
tilings you have to offer, your day to day
certainly different from my own.
I understand the claustrophobia of spirit
you talk about . some inkling of the dark
ness and alienation you feel. I understand,
and yet I have lost track of your growth in
my own. All I can do is tell you I care. And
that my thoughts are with you.
Today, while you feed the last of your
chopped wood into the fire, I throw a quilt
of memories around your shoulders, bits of
blue paisley and old flannel woven tightly
together with fondness and respect.
Memories, not to hand onto, but simply to
remind you (as you once admonished me)
that I want to be around to see you as an
old woman, healthy and sane.
We may always be struggling to get the
words to that Little Anthony song right,
but as we grow apart, the background
vocals are coming back stronger every day.
It's always good to know that one shared
moment out of the constant series of
transitions is worth 20 of any other kind.
Be Well,
