What have I learned about what I am clinging to? In the past year I have often said: “We can’t lose any one” Flashback to when my mother broke her hip. I arrive at the hospital. My mother says: “Are they all behind you? I glance backward as she begins her litany of ammends. I hold all of this for my siblings and myself. Further flashback. I am maybe three and a half . My mother has to go and get the neighbors cows out of the yard. She puts baby, Jean on the bed and tells me not to let 9 months sister Jean roll of the bed. My sister Rosemarie who is 2 1/2 watches with glee mom’s efforts to get the cows out of the years. She so gleefully reports all she is seeing, begging me to come and see. I finally do so and baby Jean rolls of the bed, fortunately unhurt.” December 27 I can be like the girl in the image, going for it! free from “We can’t lose anyone”.
