it was a year ago my mom and i were in hawaii - and i've been horribly hard on myself about some things during that trip. but as i've been looking thru all the pictures i took, i am remembering things, and not the times when i was impatient, but the two of us (i liked writing "the two of us") sharing good times - excellent meals on the cruise ship - not at the all-you-can-eat feeds, but at the French, Italian and Japanese restaurants; looking at some amazing water and feeling such warm, warm air on our faces. there was such grace in those 12 days - especially that final day in waikiki - that is a time that i replay and replay - i know for a fact how happy she was in that moment in time - unallayed joy at being in the sun, in hawaii, in very comfortable beach chairs and with ME. if i don't remember anything else in my life, just remembering that day will be enough.
