My mother never left my father’s side. Maybe she was silently chanting spells, incantations. Maybe she believed her magic could bring him back. But two days later the doctor told her it was time, there wasn’t a chance anymore. She didn’t cry. She let me hold her hand as we walked out of the hospital.

I bought some carrot juice and avocado sandwiches from the health food market down the street. I drove my mother to a park and we sat on the sparse grass in the sun and I tried to make her eat. She hadn’t eaten since he’d gone into the hospital. She looked almost as thin as I was now. I thought, she looks like my little sister. My tall, beautiful little sister. I wanted her to comfort me but that was what I was supposed to do.
