as_time_becomes_distance birdmad i was going to ramble on a bit about my mother, today being 10 years and about an hour or so since the day she died a bit of praise and a bit of scorn to dovetail neatly with the lingering swirl of love and ambivalence i hold in my heart for her memory. so in all honesty, i don't need my insurance company to underwrite repeated visits to some overpaid pill dispenser to tell me that i have issues with my mother and father and there aren't platitudes or pills enough to give me the chance to resolve these things with either of them directly 051018 what's it to you? who go blather from
