O ho...Someone wrote about seeing their grandmother. O how I would love that. I would love to go back to when I would travel from New Jersey to the Bronx at 11 years old...yeah all alone. I was a brave heart, because I came from a family of them. And when I'd reach that South Bronx apartment, I was home and safe. Away from the middle class drama of my mother's sickness of drug addicted loneliness and her husband drunkie. I was safe and well taken cared of. Mangoes, curried chicken cooked to perfection, black beans. laughs through all hours of the night with the balcony window being our only breath of fresh air. Imagine the South Bronx and fresh air just don't match but it worked and its a time I endear. My grandmother her words etched into my heart: Do only what makes you feel good. I wrestle with that because I know she did. But in the end, those were her words to me. I loved that woman and if I had another chance to be with her back in time I would love her endlessly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-50050720143717113172012-02-02T11:49:14.202-08:002012-02-02T11:49:14.202-08:00Husbands as teenagers would be so fun, before the ...Husbands as teenagers would be so fun, before the days of responsibility.

Watercolours were backward to her, leaving empty spaces for the light, instead of shading in the darkness. He did them beautifully.<br /><br />She noticed this time, the lines on his face, and the shadows beneath his eyes. The secret tell that let us know they would be leaving soon. Now that she was here again, what would she do with the time? How long would it last? Not long enough, she was sure of that. <br /><br />He finished sweeping the brush across the canvas in rich tones of russet, amber, and gold. She remembered this one well, it was one of the last. Adobe buildings and turquoise doors. Stages and steps, that moved fluidly from one level to another, but never the same. <br /><br />When the lights began to flicker, she kissed his cheek, and quietly stepped into the small ray on the floor. They might be small moments, but they were moments she looked forward to. He would never recognize that this was not the first time he painted the picture that now hung at the base of the stairs. That would be her secret, carried with her through a time wrinkle that only she would know. <br /><br />http://bloggitwrite.blogspot.com/2012/01/time-wrinkles-weekend-writercize.htmlk~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17308736457276683273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-39736625080201751452012-01-29T17:20:56.558-08:002012-01-29T17:20:56.558-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.k~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17308736457276683273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-80250649617104711192012-01-28T20:20:04.463-08:002012-01-28T20:20:04.463-08:00Very cool prompt.
