coming and going


Tuesday, November 01, 2005

my mother stopped drinking June 5th, 1981. she drank from time to time after that but wine, instead of her usual Manhattan. i don't know how she drank after having a drinking problem but she did. and i got the wine for her. she didn't get drunk like she did all those years. one glass of wine was enough.
so she had twenty years without being drunk before she died. i wish she would have gone so long without smoking. she wouldn't have had so many health problems. but she couldn't. even when we had oxygen in the house for her, she'd take it off and stand at the back door smoking. i told her she was going to blow herself up. didn't make an impression on her.
i wish she could have had one last smoke and seen her cat before she passed.
