now missing my Mom

I have been strangely reluctant to add a new post to this blog...the photo of my Mom at the top of the list has been comforting somehow. The photo was taken the day she went Home, and she just looks so kind, warm, and even peaceful to me in this photo. For the last few weeks, when I open the blog, there is Mom, smiling at me. Sure, I have many other photos of my Mom, I even made a special album a few months ago with several favorite photos in it. I look in the mirror, down at my hands, listen to my own voice, and she is here...she is, and always will be a huge part of me. It's hard...missing her. Thanks to my friends for still knowing and remembering that I'm sad, and I'm not always myself. Thanks for allowing this blog to be cathartic for me...at least for awhile.
