아주 환한 날들

She saw her only child, a daughter, through university and into a marriage with two children of her own, but so many years of work left the two of them distant rather than close, and her husband was taken by cancer. Alone now, the shop given up, she lives by a timetable of her own making, as regular as a machine. Then her son-in-law drops off a young parrot for her to mind. She gives it water and seed and nothing more, until it falls ill and a vet warns her that a parrot left without human company will die.
