Apa Shakunam

"Inauspicious." 

The day I took my mom to the airport, I wrote about finding a four-leafed clover to pack for good luck. I didn't write about how my mom promptly lost it. I found an older one I had squirreled away for her to take. 

But the more I think about it, the more it feels like that was a foreshadowing of her hospital visit and everything else to come. 

I wonder what else I missed.

And I kind of love you keep extra four leaf clovers around.
