Seven Ten, Seven Twenty 08/31/06 received a phone call today “this is Hazel in Naples your dad can’t talk right now” it was probably around seven twenty Central Standard Time and she told me my mother died about ten minutes ago dad got on the phone said I’m the only child he called my husband watches me as I listen to the news my mother has died and my father is falling apart a thousand miles away I I tell him I’m sorry I don’t know what else to say I rested my hands on the arm rests of my desk chair everything suddenly felt very heavy I didn’t want to lift my hands, my fingers it’s almost as if after I heard I’m too numb to cry I’ve been crying enough before she left and the tears will come later trust me Copyright © 2006 Janet Kuypers.
