Chapter 15 rose say goodbye

We walked out of Rose's house.At this time, the sun was brighter than before.Rose followed us and showed us to the porch.Then she stopped, her walker leaning against the aluminum door frame. Rose, dear, goodbye.mother said. Thank you dear.She said: See you again soon. Of course. Mother kissed her on the cheek.I must admit, she did a good job.Rose's hair is neat and stylish, and she looks many years younger than when we first came in. you are pretty.I said. Thank you, Charlie.This is for a special occasion. She holds the handle of the walker with both hands.At this time, she adjusted the angle of her hand and held the walker again.

what occasion? I'm going to meet my husband. I didn't ask where the meeting was; because, just in case, you know, in case someone's in a nursing home or a hospital or something.So I blurted out: Really?That's great. Yes.she said softly. Mother pulled up a loose thread on her coat, then looked at me and smiled.Rose stepped back, letting the door close. We walked carefully down the steps, my mother holding my arm.We walked onto the sidewalk and she signaled to go left, so we turned left.The sun was almost above our heads. Charlie, would you like some lunch?she says. I almost laughed out loud.

What's wrong?mother said. nothing.Of course good.eat lunch.This makes as much sense as everything else. Do you feel better now?After a nap? I shrugged: probably. She clapped my hand affectionately. She's dying, you know. who?Rose? Um. I don't know.She looks fine. She squinted at the sun. She will be leaving tonight. tonight? right. But she said she was going to see her husband. She was going to see him, yes. I stop. Mom, I said: how do you know? she laughed. I'm helping her get ready.
