FLASHES OF NOW. FLASHES OF THEN.

Father and Mother debating a house issue... Father reading a book with Child... Children spending time with Grandparents... Mother chasing after Child to get work done... Father and Mother sharing chores around the house...Father and Mother laughing... Child joining in the laughter... Father helping Child with school work... Father chiding Child to wash hands properly with soap... Mother carrying Child...

Like a slickly shot movie, scenes like the above flit in and out of my mind, alternating between me as the Child and me as the Father. My mother as the Mother and then as the Grandmother. And the odd moment, me as the Grandfather. A steady flow of flashbacks, sprinkled with digestible doses of disbelief - my life these days. Meshing my present and my past.
