To our life after

10 days back at home…

We both get used to

Being alone except

He’s with his mom…

And I’m alone

Dealing with our life,

Home and bills

And he’s keeping his

Mom company in her

Nursing home…

So reseting to constant

Talking, questions

, different

TV perferences

Different eating times and

Tastes cause some raised

Voices, impatient answers

And moving to different

Rooms to get our space back

That for 10 day increments

Were ours alone…

The only good I see out of

This 10 year living situation

Is it is preparing us for

Being alone as one of us passes…

I’m praying we both

Outlive his mom so we

Have some retirement

Time together before our

Memories don’t…

Remember each other…
