Rough Autumn
Rough Autumn winds and uncalled rain,Inflicted upon them an unexpected pain,A young leaf, detached from her mother,A bond short-lived, unfortunately severed.
· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·
The storm left behind a rainy puddle,Swirling ill fate in an unforeseen muddle,Floating atop, to wildly bob and juggle,At her mother’s roots for a final cuddle.

That night, clouds…

To Mom and the Dad I never knew
Days like today/yesterday always make me think of the Dad I never had and wish I knew — the one friends and relatives would say was the life of the party, was charismatic and creative, a true San Francisco native who served as the fire department’s paramedic, and loved taking photographs and art and collecting books and vinyl records still lining up my childhood home to this day.
Family always…

A Mother’s Dying Breath - A Short Story by Gianni Franco
Hope you enjoy this short story. Let me know what you think. More to follow in the coming weeks.
Early morning on September 9 in Rochester, New York. The leaves on the trees had surrendered their jovial green to autumn’s overbearing orange. The sliding glass overlooking the patio and lush lawn remained closed due to the cold, bustling wind.
The living room, with white walls and a matching tile floor, had always resembled a hospital room, and within the last thirty days it couldn’t be more…

James Crews: Finding my Mother
The day you passed away, I stumbledalong icy sidewalks, searching for anysign of you, but feeling only the crunchof salt beneath my boots, breathing inthe sting of diesel smoke and roasting meat.Then I looked up to find a young womanwalking in front of me, wearing your color—her dark purple sweatshirt pulled overa pair of skin-tight, light violet jeans—and how could I not think you werewinking at…

For All Who Think They Lost Their Mom ~ Happy Mother’s Day!
“The day my mother died I wrote in my journal, ‘A serious misfortune of my life has arrived.’ I suffered for more than one year after the passing away of my mother. But one night, in the highlands of Vietnam, I was sleeping in the hut in my hermitage. I dreamed of my mother. I saw myself sitting with her, and we were having a wonderful talk. She looked young and beautiful, her hair flowing down.…

Mother's Day and the Many Many Questions of My Child!
In the UK it has been Mothers Day last weekend. On Sunday. I’m not really fussed on the day. Sometimes these days come with higher expectations and if you increase your expectations then ultimately you end up being disappointed when the kids don’t behave or don’t bring you breakfast in bed. And so I am happy for this day to be a “normal” day and to get a card and that is that. And that was what…

Happy Mother's day...
I think mother’s day is one of the most celebrated occasions in the US. I love it, but that is because it favors me. You will find different camps on this – rightfully so.
While this is amazing and a joy to see, this can also be the saddest time for those who have struggled with infertility, unavailable and abusive mothers, grief from mother’s deaths, poor relationships with their mothers, and…

Goodbye
This is my mother. It was taken not long ago by my brother. He often took her and my father out to lunch since he lived nearby. My mother had Alzheimer’s. She was diagnosed in February 2020. She passed away on February 21 this year. I like this picture because her smile is bright and though the disease she fought had taken so much of her by this point, you can still see her intelligence and…
