The more I thought about Mom's friend Ruth coming to stay, the more it seemed like a Flannery O'Connor short story in the making. So, I was relieved to find out today that she is not coming. Evidently, Ruth's family is a little shook up right now. I don't know what her plans are, but I'm glad they don't currently include living with my parents.
Today as I was saying goodbye to Mom and Dad after a short visit, Dad couldn't remember where I lived. He said he must have never been there. And he referred to me as "you folks", so I wonder if at that moment he even knew my name. Mom just laughed, but it made me very sad. Tired and sad.
