Breathless

Watching my mother decline

Last Sunday evening I was driving around Public Square in downtown Cleveland, back in my hometown for a five-day visit. Traffic was squeezed into one lane, but I was in no hurry; my mother, her aide and I were there to look at the Christmas lights, and moving slowly gave my mom time to check out the deep blue, bright red and green LED lights that graced the Square.
