A Conversation With Cousin

While Momma was in the hospital, I called a cousin
of mine I haven’t spoken with in years. Momma had
gotten her phone number from somewhere a couple of
weeks ago, I got it from her and put it in my phone.
Then, the day after Momma broker her hip, I gave
Cathy a call.

It was good to hear her voice. We talked for several
minutes, reminiscing, and talking about other rela-
tives. I discovered during our conversation, we both
probably have some of the same unanswered questions
regarding our relatives. Though she didn’t say so,
she probably relishes her privacy away from others
as much as I do. Or else, she would live within a
stone’s throw. I will say, I enjoyed talking with a
member from my Mom’s side of the family better than
I believe I would have from my dad’s side. And that’s
all I’ll say about that for now.
