I have it all in my head, it’s right there on the edge. I talk to them. I listen to them. I doodle thoughts.
Yet, the words do not follow. I can seem to sit, spill them upon a page. All I have had for close to two years was being a mom, a grand mom that was more like a mom, while my daughter battled cancer. I was there very time she needed, the grandkids needed care when the had to run off too treatments.
Now, there is nothing. The time is my own. She is doing great. Has moved days away from me, in place of two hours. We still have a few bumps to cross. More surgery. A different cancer this time.
Still, I have the time to write, and I just find other things to do. I love this story, and the other one that floats around my head. I guess I keep thinking that I’ll get a call and I’ll have to drop it all again.
So, the days go on, the writing drifts about the air and I wait.
