Dialogue with Pia
by HelluvaGirl
Mum, Austeja told me that her mother was growing old.
I crack up imagining how I will tell the news flash to my girlfriend who has just started worrying about her skin.
How is she growing old?
I don’t know but Austeja said she did!
You know, all grownups are growing old every day. Me too.
Who am I to be with when you die?
I get serious, lean in and touch her arm.
You will be with your dad then.
Who will I stay with when he dies?
The kiddo’s more forward-thinking than I am.
When he dies, you will be all grown up yourself, with your own kids probably.
I will be scared to be alone!
We will do our best not to die soon, then.
