Then, when you were thirteen your father dropped dead of a heart attack and your family all but fell apart. Remember when you were twenty-one and thought at forty you’d have life all figured out? Then, just as you finished college at twenty-two you became pregnant with Jessica and your plans to become a trial lawyer ended. Remember when you were forty-five all three kids were on their own, and you thought you could launch a writing career? Then, two days after your first book was accepted your mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and all your energy shifted to caring for her. Remember when you were sixty-five had published eight books, and you thought Tom and you could finally relax and smell the roses? Then, when you were sixty-seven Tom died after a prolonged battle with cancer and Jessica entered rehab for alcoholism. Remember just yesterday, on your eighty-third birthday you marveled at how life seems to happen in between all the plans we make? Nothing could be more true. Note: Don Iannone is the author of two published poetry books. Stilling the Waters was published in 2005 by Medicine Wheel Publishing, and Walks in Life’s Sacred Garden, which was released in May 2007 by BookSurge (an Amazon.com company).
