Before he knew it hours had passed. Jimmy felt tired and went to bed. He woke up the next morning reflecting on the content he had watched. Could he be sure of his own convictions he questioned himself sat in quite reflection. It was Sunday and Jimmy had nothing planned so he slowly greeted the day with a couple of coffee. He started the question who he was and why he was there. What external forces brought him to this place and what internal forces will take him forwards. Suddenly his phone began to ring, his mother was calling. They spoke briefly. Jimmy was planning to visit his mother who had recently fallen ill and was in the hospital. She was showing signs of dementia, so Jimmy knew that any time spent with her would be precious. He left his house that day with a renewed spirit feeling a strong connection to his mother and those around him. He considered this rare, this feeling of connection. With no wife or kids his mother was his only immediate family member who was left. Jimmy spend that day well most of the day with his mother laughing talking smiling and shedding some tears. A day that could seem insignificant, quaint, boring, but it is now a day that Jimmy could never forget when he pictures is now late mother.
