What was on the wall that day.
Soft rain on the roof at night.
Stars over a corn field with no city around.
Magnolia petals on the windshield.
Grateful that I made it to fifty. Some of my friends didn't.
My pharmacist remembered my mother's name and asked how she was doing.
My wife knows the exact word I'm searching for.
My partner remembers what foods make me sick. Years of remembering.
The exact right amount of butter on the toast. Don't try, you'll mess it up.
Cracking the door open and hearing rain.
My sister called me to tell me she was proud of me. She is my older sister. It was a strange and good day.
The kid behind me at the bus stop fixed my coat collar without saying a word. Then walked away.
My mother had a peach satin nightgown. She wore it on Christmas morning every year of my childhood.
