"Silly Old Lady"

​

This is a story about soulmates.  Two people with a supernatural connection.  With a synchronicity beyond conception.

​

And it's not a romantic version of soulmates.

​

This relationship is between a mother and son.  Between parent and offspring, a single mom rasing three kids on the meager salary of a newpaper reporter.  A mother with an obvioius favor for her middle child.  A mom who would one day save her son's life.

​

Now, can the son do the same for the mom?  Can he save what's left of her life, when she lives in a nursing home, memories obliterated by a shrinking hippocampus, confined to a wheelcchair, her world reduced to half a hosptial room in a facility where people come to die?

​

This is a story about a boy, confilcted by his inability to care for his mom, aftremaking a pledge to do so.  

​

This is a story about a mom whose existence proved the power of love.
