Mitosis is a process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single parent cell. The daughter cells are identical to one another and to the original parent cell.
Like the early prophase of mitosis, in childhood I was ever changing. From my days as a girl who proudly worn her hair super short with the exception of a few strands of long hair that I referred to as my "tail." To the days of ultra big rodeo hair, under all of the hair thick threads of friendship between my sibling began to form. Some of the time I was unrecognizable much like of the stages of Metaphase.
The name Face comes from my brother, at the time he was learning about mitosis and I was given the name Anaphase half of the sister pair. The other half of the sister pair was called Metaphase. Over time Anaphase the Ana was dropped thus Face.
Fast forward a few phases, Metaphase or Mununma as she is sometimes called has has now requested that I share my inner phase with you as I embark on a new phase.
If every cell goes thru this process then we all are in stages of Mitosis..................

Wow! This is why I have always thought of you as a writer. Even from the early poetic days of "lonely as the hole in a donut". I am sure that is not the right title, yours would have been artistic, not predictable like that. I love the way you threaded the theme through your life. I also love that you are confident enough to confess that you had a 'tail':) I love you and can't wait to read more.
I stand corrected. Life is like a donut hole, empty.............
