The sound of the human voice is unlike anything else. It never sounds like a cat humming while it is sleeping. And you, my little bird, I have not heard your voice in so long. I miss the sound of your voice especially on the telephone on Saturday mornings when the world is quiet at [...]

I have never seen so many corn row braids in your hair before. I hope that they are not to tight and hurt your scalp. You rested peacefully and I guess your caregiver gave you the new do! You always hated it when your bangs weren’t perfect. I keep sitting by your side, in between [...]

I remember the sound of the gas heater before it kicked on in the hallway just to the right of our bedroom door. This meant that Dad would be arriving soon to wake us up for school. He always had a warm wash cloth to slather over our faces and a laugh. Dreadfully, we would [...]

It was all I could do to calm you down. You cried like a little bird who had just broken their wing or had fallen out of it’s nest. My heart sank the entire time. Minutes suddenly felt like years, I could not find the words. I had that thickness in my chest and throat. [...]

Tomorrow is her celebration at the park. I hope this is not too much for her. I hope they find a huge shade tree for you . I bought the green and white chocolate cupcakes and her favorite face and skin lotion. I remember this; you loved me and mom and dad, you loved our [...]

The wind was blowing very hard that day. The rain had started and we held on tightly to our Walgreen’s 2.99 navy blue umbrella. We managed to make the appointment on time and found the new medical building.I was not familiar with this side of town at all. She was always late and never ready even [...]

Today I had some quiet time. You know some silence in between all the chaos and busyness of life. And I missed you calling me on the phone. We laughed about anything and everything and had to leave the room to relieve ourselves only to return laughing one more time. I miss that. I remember [...]

My quiet visit was interrupted by the space invaders . This was our nickname for the visitors that arrived. My trip over was very hectic, the freeway was closed, I had detours to take, my cellphone lost its charge and finally arrived much later.
