The time it took her to smoke a cigarette…
The time it took her to buy a lottery ticket…
Time it took to run a pot of coffee…
To brush her teeth…
To finish off an ice cream cone…
To pump a tank of gasoline…
To tell a Telemarketer to bugger off…
To bandage her little one’s scraped kneecap…
To drive to the market…
Watch the commercials between favorite television shows…
To pay a bill…
Send an email…
Water her garden…
Walk her dog…
Receive a phone call from her mom’s doctor…
The time it took to miss her mom dying.
