The Snowflake Chronicles

On My Mother's 92nd Birthday

On my Mother's 92nd birthday,
I watch Betty White's "Off Their Rockers",
I read The Year of Magical Thinking,
But I did not visit Mom's grave.

On my Mother's 92nd birthday,
I am alone with my grief,
I have been alone with my grief
Since November 29, 2012
