Mothers

I wrote something here about my mother and forgiveness.  I decided to delete it.  It is too private.  Not the details, mind you.  Details are dunya.  But it was too private to invite comment.   It is cross-posted at other|matters.  I have no obligation to read the comments there.  In its place, I post this poem by Dick Lourie. 

How do we forgive our Fathers?
Maybe in a dream
Do we forgive our Fathers for leaving us too often or forever
when we were little?
