My mother no longer recognises me on most days. On Sunday she did, for about four minutes, and asked whether I had eaten. I have been living on those four minutes all week.

Encouragements
  • My mother asked me the same question in the same condition. They keep the love after they lose the rest of it.

  • Four minutes is not a small thing, Priya. It is a whole visit.

About this prayer

The number of people praying is shared. Who they are is not — the author never sees a list.
