Doing those things you do at Christmas. Watching a film. Quietly crying a few tears at a sad story. Feel a small hand cover mine. I’ll look after you mama. A little time passes. A few more tears cried, this time belonging to the owner of the small hands. Empathy. Compassion. Love. One moment to treasure a whole lifetime.

Happy New Year.

Mrs Mackerel

I watch my mama float away and fade to watercolour. I already miss you. Oh, my mama.
