she ran mindfulness apps on her smartphone 

                                                Don’t get on me about that wouldya? 

Apps  Really

I haven’t time . .

. . Make time baby take time 

                               Ya don youll get ill 

she did 

killed her

nobody could tell him otherwise

                                   she burned the candle on both ends

had been muscular healthy

undercut herself to such a degree that when her illness reared its ugly head she couldnt halt it reverse it it diminished debilitated her swept her away like ash before the bristle of a minutehand

                                                                                  irretrievable 

I am mindful 

You are, not a soul’s . .

. . Being

Okay. she grimacedhe displeased her Being. Few are as you.

An only because I have timehave the luxury 

                                               I don take it for granted

No, no you don’t, you’re always deeply grateful. 

                                                      Although it’s come at a brutal cost. 

he noddedhis eyes shined

she looked away

                   I have to say, sometimes you seem boastful.

Which is unlike me

It is, yes.

Im not boastful 

                 In those moments I was being provocativewas trying to gall you trying anything I coud think of

aware 

wary

mindful

minefullness

minefield

Youll excuse me if I am brazen abrasive

                                            You wrote in your text insisted I THINK  Eleven times

Youre obviously unaware of my mindfulness If you had implied otherwise to either of my girls they woud have set you straight They woud have told you youre wrong turned you about patted you on the butt an sent tha notion packing There there 

Am I correct

Had you come up in conversation . .

. . Which I believe is unlikelyyour conversations centering on your individual relationships with them They knew better  They woudnt speak for me make assumptions

If you came up it was likely in the tenor of How’s your Dad? as they’d about mine.

As I thought Thank you 

                             Therefore  Youre oblivious

   Oblivious. That’s strong. 

                                Although I . . . I suppose I am.

An supposing you are you must realise how audacious it was to tell me to think

                                                                                       Eleven times                                    

I replied The past is prologue

                               A Shakespeare line for Antonio in The Tempest Actually he wrote Whats past is prologue

Prologue is an event or action that leads to another event or action

I asked youI assume you looked it up for own gratification for your own sake For my sake For the utter difference in the lives weve lead

                   For your less experience than mine

I did.

Good 

       For the thinks you made I am happy to address them point by point 

I woud have urged you to call although I thought it was evident  Tha was my error

We can beginning I wrote out your text transcribed it You have it before you

No. 

No

I don’t want to discuss it.

No Wha do you suggest

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Ignore it 

           Dealing with it may cause a more difficult situation

You’re known to be difficult.

   Because I ask questions

Because your questions cut to the bone.  You are not kind.

I am not Im not inclined to build a worthless house of cards

Then please, can we not discuss it.

Tha woud satisfy you

I’ve thought about it, I’ve thought about it very hard. 

                                                         Satisfy isn’t the right word.  But yes.

You prefer to pursue it?

You asked we wont  No 

                             Lastly I don think    I know
