Daily Prompt: Cherish

Written by Ellen Grace Olinger

I cherish memories of the caregiving years with my mother and family.  I could not imagine blogs then.  My mother often asked, “Are you writing?”  She was called Home in 2004.

Grateful for a quiet Christmas this year.

And I have to review my archives to remember all I have written since the caregiving years.  One day at a time, and also trust for the “big picture” over time.

Taking turns
Letting each other go
Only to learn again
How love grows,
Mother
