Anyway, my mom was saying that she was feeling out of sorts. And she said something that makes me sad when she says it. She said she felt so alone. Of course, I immediately go into “Mom, you’re not alone. You have me, Mitch (my brother), Karen…” and so on. And honestly, I sometimes don’t know what to say.
