Rememberance

Yesterday was three years without Mom. Yesterday was awful, for many other reasons, and interestingly enough, I wasn't even consciously aware of the date. Yet, in the midst of the roiling storm produced by the email volley (previous post), I kept thinking of Mom, how much I wish she were alive to advise me and console me, and I missed her achingly, acutely, as if she had just left. Clearly, I was aware of the date on some level.

Another reminder not to let the sturm und drang distract me from the moments that make up life.

I love you, Mom.
