REALITY BITES

 I saw my dermatologist, today.

I asked, how long will my face be apple shaped?

I did not like her reply

It could take up to a year

.I’ll be fat-faced for a year?

Will and I are settled under the comforter in bed, lights still on, when I ask—

Will, does fluid collect during steroid therapy?

No.  The apple shape of your face is based in fat redistribution.  (That’s when my fat-faced comment flew out of my mouth.  Not in the doctor’s office)

Next thing I know, I realize something utterly unrelated to apple-shaped faces—

With Aunt Rose’s passing

The septer has been passed

I am now Matriarch and

Will is patriarch on both sides of our family

How can that be?

Within our own generation

Will and I are the oldest alive

What doth today’s post offer for realization?

Reality cares not for impatience or disbelief

Reality dethrones our fantasies and reigns supreme
