“Oh gosh, my what now?”
“Your spirit. You can’t stay home forever,” she reminds me.

“And I won’t be around much longer,” she reminds me.

“Stay, won’t you? Please.”
“You know I would if I could,” she reminds me.

“But I can’t live without you.”
“Yes you can,” she reminds me.

“Here. Take your medicine before you forget again.”
“Are you listening? There’s a part of me mixed in with a part of you,” she reminds me.

“Remind me again, my Dear.”
“There’s a part of me that’ll always be with you,” she reminds me.
