Rhubarb ... you made the best rhubarb Momma ... you loved to make rhubarb and smiled and laughed as I carried on as I always did wolfing your wonderful rhubarb down ...
Oh God
Momma I hope you like the flowers. I put nice pink azaleas and deep red rosebuds in your vase on your grave Momma.
Momma the grass is starting to grow over your grave. It's splotchy but it's growing ... and oh God ... I can't stand it ...
But I can it seems ... how do people do it though ...
they do though don't they
oh God
how I miss you
how I miss your rhubarb
Your rhubarb
Oh God
Reflections of a Catholic's struggles to follow Christ, by God's Grace, in the Here and Now.

About Me
- Charles
- Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
- I am a 53 year old man who is a Roman Catholic struggling - as do all of us - in the here and now. I was privileged to serve as my dear mother's caregiver until her death on August 22, 2007. Until that date, my role as caregiver was my biggest challenge in the here and now. Since her death, my biggest challenge, in the here and now, has been grieving her passing. Under the circumstances, maintaining my faith in Christ, and following Him, has been an enormous challenge for me. Prayerfully reflecting on this challenge, and working it through in the here and now, is the primary reason I started this blog.
