Mom-In-The-Mirror Symdrome

It’s one of the classic - nay, absolutely cliched - middle aged moments. You happen to catch an unexpected glimpse of yourself in the mirror and you see your mother looking back at you. »more»

Within several months of that landmark birthday, I spent a week in the hospital — and several months thereafter — recovering from the effects of a blood clot.
