Happy Mary

Last time you got older, mom, I was making a mistake.
Funny how it's hard to imagine your face.
Your voice.
Do you still go by Mary Lou?
Are you still playing house?
What did you do this Easter?
You must have been excited to share a birthday with Jesus' rise from the dead.
Are you in Michigan?
Did you paint your nails? Cook potatoes? Eggs? Ham? Pancakes?
I did. I cooked pancakes.
Chocolate chip and in a hurry.
I'm sure church was lovely.
What did you wear?
I pretty much stayed home.
Everything was closed.
