Unforgettable

Last week I was in Rhode Island, lets just say it was not for a happy occassion.  However, being able to spend time with my mother is always good, frustrating sometimes, but good.  Jackie lives is assisted living with many other elderly people.  On one particular day after taking her home, they had a musician performing for the residents.  We went down to listen and he had a beautiful voice and would sing the requests from his audience.

One request was Unforgettable.  He started to sing and many of the people around me started to sing with him.  Most softly and whistfully.

I watched one woman across the way.  I have seen her around but have never spoken to her.  She was a small woman with totally white hair that she wore at about shoulder length that she held back with a headband that matched her outfit.

She sat there and swayed and I could see her mouthing the words to the song.  I could see a change in her, I swear I could see her feel sad.  I wondered who she was thinking about as she sang

"Unforgettable, that's what you are"

I wondered about her life and where her Unforgettable you was.
