Hi Mom!
*Heard someone in my office say
Hi Mom!
It instantly occurred to me,
That I will never be able to say
those precise words ever again...
To a living woman who loved me
Unconditionally,
That cracked me, though no one saw me
Shatter.

Lipstadt-Roth, Miriam née Peiman, 1915~2013, passed peacefully Sat. July 20th.
Critic, speaker, writer, her fiercest feat, her leading role, creator. A near century of memories
her legacy, memories that linger not, for incised, chiseled in the granite of the
books, papers, and poetry and the very being of her descendants.
August 2013
Her faith in Almighty,
unflagging, for he did not
forsake her in the time of
her old age, when
her strength failed.
