My Zaida didn’t recognize me yesterday.
It’s been a long time since the sandbox and the toys in the basement.
He forgot my face.
A longtime since he showed me that over sized squash he grew.
He didn’t say hello.
A long time since he honked his horn as he pulled away, ‘toot-toot’.
He said my name like I was a stranger.
A long time since he brought over the challah on Friday night.
When someone is forgotten, what happens with the memories?
