Flashback?…
Looking down for a moment I thought, my Mother must have been in this exact situation. It just seemed like her. I just seemed like her, down to my hands. I look like my mom in a few ways but I’ve always thought our hands were the most similar.
I was sitting at the table working on a dress. Pregnant, sewing, and listening to “Africa” by Toto.
I remember hearing this song a lot as a kid. I remember what the album looked like to a certain degree. Bright red with a circular image off center, I think it was kind of like a rainbow. It’s been a long time. I don’t really remember Mom sewing all of the time but I remember the sound of her sewing machine distinctly; come to think of it she used it pretty regularly, I was the only one who could thread it for a long time.
Everyday we get closer to having Comma. It’s exciting and seems pretty natural to me sometimes (though I could do without the crying). My mom seemed natural when she was carrying my brother. I hope that everything keeps going as smoothly as it has so far. As smoothly as it seemed to with Mom (from her stories of course).
Funny too how a soundtrack change will remind you of different things. Now here I am listening to Toad the Wet Sprocket while writing. Sounds a lot like Erin now…
I wonder what my (possible) daughter will someday link me to…
