Guilt and Regret
34.
We aren't close --
never have been since we were kids
too much of a gap between ages
and I was the unexpected youngest.
She tried her best
taught me how to train a dog,
how to ride a horse
how to tease out a splinter
with the tip of a needle.
We drifted apart with my marriage,
further with hers;
further still with the death of out father
and my divorce;
my transition.
She's moving again
out past the confines of memory
and I hope I see her again
before one of us dies.
