I Guess Her Mother has Pneumonia

A daughter told the story of her mother having pneumonia at a nursing home except the story wasn't about the pneumonia. This was a story about being abandoned by the doctor who is assigned to her mother. It would be a stretch to say this is "her mother's doctor" because the system makes it all but impossible to have a relationship with the doctor of your choosing if you live in a nursing home.

I Held and Released You

I remember you today on the day that you died. The wind by the river is much colder today.

Journey

Since we last spoke two people told me their moms died. It happens all the time, but each one seems so special
