April 12, 1998
Bryn Mawr, PA
It is my mother’s birthday so I go out to buy her a present. But then the task overwhelms me. She is dying and only has a few more weeks to live. What kind of present do you buy for a dying person? I stand in the store, by a corner, by myself and cry for a few seconds and then work so damn hard to regain my composure.
I buy her a silky, smooth body lotion and spend the next few weeks massaging her hands and feet.
FN:She died on May 9.
