I sit here longing for another post by Dervala. I hope all is OK. It has been too long since she has posted here.

I’m struck by how much your beautiful mother looks like you.

Very moving and vivid. The picture of your father reminded me of that funny post where you have him near a bicycle and talking about how young he feels at 60 something. Your mother is gorgeous and her face is your face, or at least I see it that way. This is a wonderful piece and you should send it out to Literary Journals that publish nonfiction, or write a memoir. With Holden now gone, there is even more room for a new and younger voice.

I’m here-

Thanks for taking me back to my childhood.

Now I am feeling so very guilty about not setting up my brother in Pennsylvania with the scanner he needs to digitise 60 years of transparencies, some from the decades before anyone in my family flew.

Beautiful and, as ever, beautifully written. (Prompt for 2010 duly delivered.)
