Dear Mom,
I will walk today
because you can't anymore
Your granddaughters will walk today
because they wish you could read them a story
My husband will walk today
because he knows my tears in the middle of the night
Friends will walk today
because they have taken the time to listen to our story
Strangers will walk today
because they share our fate
We will all walk today
when you are crying out
when you are alone in your bed
when you are being propped up and spoon fed your breakfast
when you are swearing as your diaper is changed
when your smile turns into a desperate frown
when the music plays in your room to calm you down
And even though you don't know who we are,
we will walk today
because if you could, you would walk with us.
Love, Lois
