MY FIRST VISIT-read

This afternoon I went to visit my mother whom I haven’t seen for two months. She looked old and haggard. I think next time I’ll put her on lipstick. It would make her look more alive. Otherwise she was about the same as when I left. She had a sore at the corner of the mouth. What it is is anyone’s guess! I think she also needs a haircut. Do I expect too much?

There was a man singing songs so at least the place was frailach!

Then she was given tea which she spilled and two cookies. So I took the tea and cookies a way. I figured she could eat them later. So the girl gave her two more cookies——-just tea biscuits and very dry. She almost choked. I wonder what would have happened if I wasn’t there. I think she would have had to drink the tea and it would have been ok.

Anyhow I am glad I went. Now it will be easier the next time.

How I hate the thought of getting old and dependent and confused!!!!!
