Every night I help Granma get ready for bed. It's a ritual. After she's all washed up I leave her to wipe off the bathroom sink. I anxious waiting for her, so I peeked into the bathroom to see what she was doing. She was looking at herself in the mirror and primping. I watched as she licked the tip of her ring finger and brought it up to her brow then with the finest of strokes smoothed it outward. .....She doesn't have any eyebrows.
I wonder what she sees when she looks in the mirror. Does she see herself as a younger woman?
My other granma, who is 99 years old says, "It's just a habit."
Just a habit?
I watched my Granma as she looked at herself in the mirror.............It makes me wonder.
hmmmmmm... ??????????????????
