Today is mom’s birthday.
She would have been 83.
It has been almost 3 years,
since,
mom,
passed away.
I miss her.
Marthe,
is around,
in my apartment,
her photo,
her things,
her influence on my library,
on my life.
Recently,
I had a print framed.
I found it,
in a cardboard tube,
at the back of the closet.
It depicts,
the porch,
of an old rural house,
it seems to be autumn.
I don’t know where and when,
she bought it.
Was she with my aunt,
or with this friend of hers,
who hurt her deeply.
I don’t know,
I could ask my aunt,
I suppose but,
it doesn’t really matter.
Marthe,
obviously liked it enough,
to buy it.
It hangs in my hallway,
and I can see it when,
I sit in my chair,
reading or watching tv.
The print looks great.
I am happy, I am healthy.
My home is warm and calm,
Catherine is a treasure,
all is well with me.
As long as,
I breathe,
you will not be forgotten.
I love mom.
Je t’aime maman.
Ta Caroline

That print is beautiful & sort of reminds me of a house I saw a few years ago that my mother lived in when she was a little girl. Looking at it brings memories to my mind. Thanks for sharing that.
Thank you! I love it, I see it and admire it everyday, makes me feel close to mom.
