I sprawled on my stomach, arms and legs akimbo

and watched Mom in the mirror.

She dipped a pad in the jar of cold cream

and wiped her makeup off.

Then she reached back

brought up her brown curls

and tied them in a knot.

"What are you doing, Mom?"

I asked.

"You look like a baby!"

"I have always been a vain woman", Mom said.

"What I look like has mattered too much in my life.

So I am closing that chapter".

I felt scared

alone

abandoned.

Mom couldn't be a Mom

if she looked like a baby!

She turned around and saw the look on my face

and said, "I'm doing this for the Lord, honey.

Don't be scared".

That was the first time I realized

that our life was changing.
