The Bay At Midnight
“I was a middleaged woman caught between the concerns of her aging parent and the challenges of dealing with her child. I worried that I was going to fail both of them—or that I may already have done so long ago.
After bringing armloads of hydrangeas into my mother’s house and placing them in vases in the living room and kitchen, I knocked on her bedroom door.
“Mom?” I asked. “Are you all right?”
“I’m okay,” she said. “I’m just tired.”
I didn’t want to leave her alone but was not sure what else ...to do.

“All right,” I said.
I made some tuna salad for her and left a note on the table telling her it was in the refrigerator. I didn’t know what else to do. I felt helpless.
I came home and sat down in front of computer. I checked my e-mail; there were many notes from my fans that had accumulated over the past few difficult weeks.MoreLess
