My
God
it
feels
so
wonderful
to
talk
to
my
mother
.
She
is
so
open
and
communicative
with
me
lately
.
She
calls
for
no
other
reason
than
to
hear
the
new
sounds
in
my
voice
and
ask
me
the
questions
she
thinks
of
each
day
...somehow
always
about
what
he
likes
to
eat
. "
Is
he
picky? Germans aren't picky."
For
the
most
part
it
doesn't
matter
what
I
have
to
say
as
long
as
I
can
hear
her
tell
me
stories
about
her
and
dad
.
The
early
times
of
her
life
that
I
am
excluded
from
and
only
hear
likened
to
fables.
This
is
rare
.
She
is
slowly
telling
me
secrets
that
she
never
told
her
girl
friends
...because
she
never
had
a
girl
friend
to
tell
.
She
has
been
waiting
a
long
time
to
whisper
these
things
to
me
,
waiting
for
me
to
be
in
a
place
where
I
would
understand
.
I
felt
warm
and
dizzy
when
I
heard
her
say
, "
Samantha
,
I
am
so
glad
you're
happy
.
It's
all
I've
ever
wanted
."

She
feels
like
the
closing
of
a
circle
A
completion
found
in
her
beginning
She
grows
and
She
will
be
the
part
of
me
that
goes
on
living
.
A
destiny
realized
