Getting Better

By Delia Kilbride

She brought her mother home to die. Her mother is getting better.

Hospice gives Bernie Kovach a number in plain words: days to weeks. She writes it on the kitchen calendar in pencil, so that it can come off. Then her mother asks for eggs. By Christmas Irene is cooking. Everyone on the street calls it a miracle, and they are not wrong. And Bernie, who has not slept properly since November, is losing weight, and hours, and teeth that have nothing wrong with them.
