In her sunset years, my abuela has turned gnarled as a banyan, - TopicsExpress



          

In her sunset years, my abuela has turned gnarled as a banyan, frail as petal... I bathed her, scrubbing, scouring dirt off her skin with a hand towel... pouring lukewarm water over her head, down her bent spine... aah, she was a ghost of her former self, a guerrilla during the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines... growing old is not a battle to be waged against with stem cell therapy... it is a coming to terms with time... May time be less harsher with this hierophant...
