Pretty swell my boy. I caught her all kinds of ways.

I love every Scheherazade story, it is a pleasure to read this one again, and be reminded of the intimacy and beauty you have shared . My husband’s mother’s birthday was a few days ago, he said , she would have been 96 today. I silently wondered why we continue to say; ‘she would have been’ , not needing, ‘if she had lived’ . Those that hold a special place in our hearts always remain safely tucked in with all the love and memories ,“ bound together in ribbons and bows…”

And the big question of ‘if’ still hangs there filled with wishes and dreams of what might have been, what we missed out on, if only.

Happy Birthday to your mom, Adam.
