Logan and Claire are spending the afternoon with me. I take them up to see "Mamie" because Mom always loves having the little ones explore all the fun things she has out on her shelves. She says as Claire heads for the windowsill where the clear glass paper weight with a lavender lily entombed within it lives, "There's nothing there that she can hurt." I run behind Claire and grab the hefty ball before she tries to lift it and drop it on her toe! At 16 months, she is easily redirected back to the toy box under the desk.
Mom holds up a book. "Look what I'm reading." I bite my tongue when I see the title, Healthy Aging by Dr. Weil. I honestly don't know how many times over the past couple of years Mom has read that book thinking she has never read it before. We've had conversations about how I remember her reading it. In fact, I've told her twice that I received a hard copy of the book for Christmas one year.
"Have you ever read this, Donna?"
I simply shake my head up and down as I say yes.
