A simple little challenge expressed in six words…. Smith Magazine is the founder of the Six Word Memoirs and I have co-opted it into my weekly blog. I think this might be the third or fourth week and within the framework of the basic premise ONE LIFE, I try to introduce a topic in hopes that some of my readers will participate and send in a Six Word Memoir of their own!!
Well, well, finally I’m pleased to report that I have one response to feature.
Gail: Seriously funny, But not too serious
This week’s Six Word Memoirs topic is: Mother
My own for this week is Cancer won – I lost my Mommy
Actually I have another one – Mommies are forever kissing the booboos
Would love it if some more responses were sent in especially since I KNOW there are a couple of writers reading this blog! And for fun, I suggest you visit the sites: http://www.velvetverbosity.com where you will be introduced to the 100 word story challenge; some good writing and reading and http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords
Put your thinking cap on, exercise your brain, express yourself.
Should have attended a better college.
Thank YOU – I hoped the “writer” remark would incite you to write!
Dancing around the world and back
My six word memoir right now would have to be :
“Mothered Mother And Back to Me.”
I just lost my mom on July 12th. She lived with my husband and me for the last 10 months. She was in last stage dementia. I took the very best care of her I could. Our roles reversed. What she did for me as a child, I did for her the last months of her life. I mothered her. Now, I’m not sure what I am. Daughter? Mother? I miss her terribly and am just trying to find my place in the world again.
Oh Ruby, so sorry to hear about your mom. I’m sure you did the best by her. AND your six word memoir is so meaningful. It will be in the blog tomorrow when I do Six Word Memoir Monday. Thank you for sharing your pain and feelings with me.
