I don't mean "just a minute", or "I'll be there in a minute," which we know is longer than 60 seconds and usually means, "I don't really feel like doing that right now."
What I mean is that even a minute of my time can be enough. I'm loving Peggy again with a full heart. I've been stopping by more frequently, for less amount of time. The last three times have been good. I like to hug her, let her know I'm there. She lights up. A minute to her could mean an eternity, a day, a month, maybe a second, who knows? It's just that I happen to be living in real time, filled with children, friends, work, chores and there never seems to be enough hours in the day, let alone minutes. But, when I stop by on my way from this or that to see how she is, I find the real value of a mere minute, by her smile.

She's still my Mom, and seems as though I'm still learning about life from her. |
