mother’s eulogy
finally I tell her
what she wanted to hear
—DEBBI ANTEBI
.
It is amazing how we come to the right place with our parents, but in the last days or at our memorial speech.
.
Both my mothers died within four days of each other. I managed to see my birth mother just a short time before she passed. My adoptive mother, in her last days, began to realise how much I had done, and that I would make sure she would be okay to her last days.
.
Each last meeting I learned a little more about the parts I did not know.

?from my birth mother…?
how do I say hello to me?

This haiku has a haunting quality to it and captures the complexity of family relationships.

Quite beautiful and poignant. Captures the sometimes fraught relationship between mothers and daughters.

Farewell,
as I now speak
my thoughts I should have shared;
in mind and eye, your heart should feel
the care..
