A Mother's Silhouette

To all of our mothers. Thank you for your love~A Mother's SilhouetteI awoke for a moment in late afternoon, the hospital room spare and efficient. I looked over and saw my mother sitting with a rosary in her hand, a cool dark silhouette before a window fiercely illuminated by the hot desert sun.“You don’t have to talk,” she said noticing I was stirring. “I’m just going to sit here.”Thank you. It’s exactly what I needed. An immense, familiar peace filled me, her profile eliciting early…See More

I dedicate this post to my sister-in-law, Mary Lou, who has urged me to publish it for two years now in hopes of buoying the spirits of thousands of hard working Americans that have suffered as a result of our failing economy. Now that my family has moved successfully through this unexpected and painful chapter, I am emotionally able to give this essay some well earned wings. Please feel free…

I went to school at Mesa Community College and lived in Phoenix another time and we still have to go to Goodyear for my husbands chemo treatments every 3 wks now but at least we didnt have to go all summer! We are at the base of the Catalina mountains outside Tuscon and are a good 20 degrees sometimes more off of Pho. I think I am spoiled now! lol Ill be looking forward to seeing you around the group. Thanks!

Thank you for joining my group Blooming late!

I saw your blog and site on your profile, Your site is very nice and well done and congrats on the book! Your blog is extremelly well done and I founf your post personal and revealing. AS I hate everything about Arizona I immediatley thought that was proabably the only mistake you made rather than spending too much. Are you still in Az? Im by Tucson.

I'm left now wondering how on earth you coped with your return, I wanted you to stay...

Have been arts writer for newspaper and some mags while writing what I thought was a memoir. Have discovered the material I can't know about is suitable for fictional account. Notion is liberating. May still present memoir as such, but right now am working on novel. So exciting!
Have you started on something new and is it another memoir?

At 3:35pm on October 15, 2010, Judith van Praag said…: Thanks for the explanation Susan. Hardcover out last year, paperback now, eh? Comes to show I'm totally behind the times ;-) If there's one thing I don't like about everything being accessible thanks to the Internet, it's that there is so very much to explore. SW is a good example of what happens when you want to stay abreast of what's going on, you don't have any time left to write. Can't have that, can we? So I'm double pleased to happen upon your adventures!

At 2:52pm on October 15, 2010, Judith van Praag said…: Just landed on your profile page here, via your blog post about renting your furnished apartment. What a surprise to see the promishing cover of your book. That's funny. Didn't realize your memoir was published already. I'm curious what's behind the door, but also wonder whether the material you're posting on this blog is straight from the book, or not.
