I wrote this poem in January 2013 about visiting my Mom in Scotland. She was bedridden and the doctor had said she was dying. That was 8 years ago and she died very recently on our Canadian Mother’s Day in May of 2021. The blog posts about this journey with my Mom can be found at www.annofgg.com and this post, the first of a daily journal, can be found here: https://annofgg.com/2014/10/29/a-journey-with-my-mom-1/
