My Mother

[poliphilo]

 My mother is in her mid eighties and has the enthusiasms of a child. She's so bright and cheerful. She owns all these race horses and it's like she's an eight year old who's just discovered ponies. I can't imagine being so near the end of my life and still so enthralled by the business of living.

She's beautiful.

I think she is absolutely wonderful! I'm going to forget about being upset that I have reached sixty. Obviously SHE is the one with the right idea about life.

You look a bit like her!

It seems so effortless too. She could have dropped out of the race when my father died, but she didn't. She just kept on going.

I wish I could be like her.
