I wrote this poem for my mother during the pandemic. My mother is the one person who taught me that keeping quiet about injustices is not an option. Even now, at the age of 90, she is as vocal as ever. Happy Mother’s Day.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 3 years since I lost my best buddy, Nestor. I went three months before I brought home my new puppy, Whitman. As I was going through Whitman’s papers, I was stunned to learn he was born the exact day Nestor had died. I guess some things are meant to be.
