Ingrained In Your Head Janet Kuypers, 09/05/06 #1 it’s strange now I’m back visiting my parent’s house like I have done so many years in the past and every time I’d come home I’d pass by and look the the kitchen window before walking to the door and I’d see mom, either at the kitchen sink or maybe with her back turned in the kitchen or else sitting in her chair in the den watching tv I’m used to seeing that, you know there are just some things ingrained in your head you can’t help it and seeing mom there, at home seeing the outline of her hair from the lamp in the den it’s just second nature to me I wonder how long I can keep these memories in my head so I don’t forget her Copyright Janet Kuypers.
