I Have Become My Mother
Not that I see this as a bad thing - it's been happening all my life. Slowly, imperceptively I have morphed from a young vibrant woman to a middle aged yet still vibrant matron.
"It's too bad the way your skin has come away from your jawline", Kate tells me with sorrow in her voice. "Too little moisturizer."
We immediately head out to the local pharmacy where I pay whatever it takes to re-glue my face. They see me coming and jack the price to $46.00.
So, while in Ireland, I pack my 'reading glasses on a string' in my purse with my map. And moisturize when I think of it, and decide to be the mother of children who are becoming lovely adults is much better than the alternative.
And, I have the joy of watching the process happen for those that follow me.
