Memories

Today I have been cleaning out the inbox of my Gmail account.  I have to decide what to discard and what to keep any files by name for family members in particular events.  When it was finally time to stop I had reached a period when I was operated on for cancer. ,My doctor told me that Holo I had a stage for plus cancer it had not metastasized.  During that time I lived with two of my daughters four of their children and one of their husbands and a two bedroom apartment on Manhattan in Washington Heights.  For most of the six months that I lived with them I felt that I was dying and I was.  There are other memories that I encountered as I went through the emails including Lucinda's blossoming as an essayist and the  tragicomedy surrounding my ex-husbands descent into folly.  I love my life my children and the adventures that I am reminded of. I am grateful for my memories.
