This photo was taken at the cabin in 2017.
"Want to go see grandma again
today?" I ask Frank and Coraline.
They head for the door.
Mom notices the three of us.
Recognition clicks in,
and she smiles.
Mom does not know
my name anymore.
We walk in the garden.
The pups walk very slowly, staying
right by her side.
They are guardians.
We giggle.
We talk.
We cry.
We say goodbye for now.
Keep it simple
And LET IT BE
