When Mum Asks Again Whether You've Eaten

Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Psalm 71:9 · BSB

For some people it starts with a phone call where Mum asks, for the third time in ten minutes, whether you've eaten yet. You answer gently each time, then sit in the car for a while before driving home. Nobody has died, so it's hard to know what to call the ache.
