Something over twenty years

This is where my mother has lived these past years. Not just this house, but by herself since my father died, which has been something over twenty years ago. Time has not blurred my memory of him but has blurred the un-important, like how many years he has been gone. Mother has left "our town" and moved to an assisted living center- her decision. That was two days ago. I miss her, it seems like something over twenty years she's been gone.
