It's in the genes

Updated: Apr 12, 2019

Still at a loss.


Trying to accept the incredibly bizarre.

As I type on my computer with no e key.

I question if I ever actually said out loud,

"I quit“

all the things...

The things that did not make me happy,

the job that was unfulfilling,

the dreams that never came to pass.

I have lost the desire to push.


I wish I took the chance,

after I had an MRI for my knee last year,

thinking I may have to have surgery,

Momma offered,


”Come out here, and heal with me....”

I wish I had the opportunity.


Two weeks later

..she was gone.


Almost to the day, a year later,

I sit here in the imaging center

about to get my first mammogram

with the insurance she encouraged me to get.

I’m saddened by the loss.

The loss of the p[ossibility

to discuss woman things.

Health things.

Growing,

changing,

accepting things...

anything...

Is it real?


I never had to have surgery after all.


My mom is gone,


...and everything has changed.
