The pattern of lines in a soft surface are just so brilliant as the ages of time. I trace the lines on your face and think, you’re old now and you need everything in their finest as you are so. I smile at the sight of the wrinkles on your cheeks and mutters, “My mother is so beautiful. I want to be like you. Grow old; hair turns to grey, wrinkles, and all. Love you, Mom.”

I never see you move since last night, you stop breathing, your have no pulse; yet, I hold you close to me.

“Congratulations, Mom.”
