life on wry

Life as a sandwich generation x’er, stacked with irony. As a ‘normal’ person peering out from the boundaries of suburbia, as a transplant from another state, maybe another planet. As a mother of teenage boys and freelance working writer balancing parenting with helping to care for my mother. And now as an only child of a mother with Alzheimer’s (which sucks).

Bittersweet Sun

sunBlinding sun

in autumn skies.

Bitter as

the days gone by.

Still sweet as

a sister’s love.

Marking chapters

from high above.

When she stares

into my eyes.
