Mom has been texting me nonstop since I left. Mostly, she has questions about where I left certain things, like her slippers. Otherwise, it’s pictures of flowers in the garden, her tea, her and Theresa on a walk, a squirrel in the yard. She also uses excessive emojis, which drives me nuts.

As a kid, I would have died for her attention. Any measly scrap of attention. Emma and I lived for those rare five-minute phone conversations. When all you know are weeks, sometimes months, of silence for most of your life, the sudden bombardment of messages feels like overkill.

It sounds terrible, but every time Mom’s name appears on my phone, I’m overcome with anxiety. I never know if it’s bad news or not, just like I never knew whether she was calling to tell Emma and me she’d be back in a few days, or she didn’t know how long she’d be gone. Usually it was the latter.
