mosses monday: I...

(continued from yesterday's post...)
august 1986

"george, i told you she was sherry's daughter," she said to her husband. "i could tell; you look so much like your mother..." she said to me.
she wrinkled up her nose as she smiled at me...
a beautiful sight i would see many, many more times...
a sight i welcomed...
a sight i miss...
i sight i just didn't get to see,
enough.

after church, i returned home and changed out of my new, green linen dress into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, pony-tailed my hair, and headed into the den where my mother sat watching tv.

"well, did you join the church this morning?" she asked.

"yes, ma'am," i replied.
"and you'll never guess whom i met today," i continued.

"who???"
(my mom was aware that i already knew many of the congregation;
for that is why i chose that particular church. )

"mr. and mrs. moss," i replied.

mom sat there for a few seconds (obviously reflecting).
"awe, they are so sweet..." she said,
"did you tell them who are???"

(rotflmao!!! yes, mom, i told them, "i are dani; hear me roar!!!" i thought to myself... as if i really were important in the scheme of things.)

seriously... i knew what she meant
(i just have sarcastic thoughts from time to time;).

"i didn't have to," i continued, "she already knew."

mom looked at me oddly..

i expounded on the conversation i had had with mrs. moss
while my mom's mind seemed to travel
to another place in time.

(to be continued...)

love and GOd's blessings,
dani xx
