Berlin

Windy

My mother and I were sitting in her garden.
“It’s a bit windy,” she said.

“Are you cold?” I asked.
“No,” she said, “I’m warm.”

“Would you like to travel to Berlin with me one day?” I asked. “To see the city of your youth again.”

“That’s a nice idea,” she said. “But only if I have the strength.”
