I sent a short email to Maureen Flora, a poet and English Teacher (and former friend) who lives in Cardington, Ohio. Her Mom Patricia passed away earlier this year, and even though Maureen and I are no longer "in touch" -- I just felt she might need a word of comfort and remembrance just these few months after her Mom died.
Maureen is probably now "taking care" of her Dad, a role she fully expected to step into once her Mom passed away. They live on adjacent farms in Cardington -- but I'm sure Maureen has become a "second Mom" to her own Dad by now. It is the way of things in that family.
