I miss my mother most at five o’clock. In my mid-thirties, I remember thinking that one good thing about having a sick mother was that she was always home, always there, to answer on the first ring. I would start dinner, pour a glass of wine, and dial. Hey mom, what are you doing? Nothing, what are you doing? Making dinner. What are you making? She was no longer able to cook, so she cooked vicariously through me. Sometimes I lied and pretended I was making things I had no clue how to make—Chicken Cordon Bleu—to change up the conversation, to give us something else to talk about besides doctor appointments and inhalers and the shortening of time. ~ Teri Carter. *Make sure you are subscribed to The Manifest-Station!
