“I am taking you out of your house.” She said, “you haven’t left it since Monday!” Looking at her I knew what she was doing Pulling that classic look of, "stop being a little ***** I gave in and let her take charge As it is my nature “Look around you, how can you not be happy?” She said :driving to a diner: Inside with coffee, cream in hers She continued, "You want to die, yet I have cancer.” She stared with such disdain “You’re too old to be acting like this, look at yourself!” We both drank our coffees I smiled As she said, ”You’re ungrateful.” Soup, more coffee, and a BTL no mayo She drops me off and parts ways with a hug She’ll out live me, I know it 5-18-18

This is dedicated to my mother. She saved my life that day. Love you mom.
