It’s been 3 months since my family’s world was turned upside down by the loss of my dear mom to breast cancer.
Grief and loss can be confusing and unpredictable. Who knew that being snowed in would send me into a deeply missing my mom and grieving? She was the one I’d call on such crazy weather days. When things at work school related would come up or the politics around education show up in the news I start grieving. I would call my mom about that too. Amazingly, the hardest days are the days when the smallest things that she did are no longer there. I am still waiting for her to call me to get a pedicure with me, and I am really having a HARD time scheduling one purely because I don’t want to be a weirdo sobbing while getting her toes done.
Oh and I’m sure by now she’d be fussing at my about not updating my underwear and getting some new clothes. She was always mindful that her middle daughter could neglect herself in that area.
OH and the sports- Red Sox spring training is beginning and it will be the first season without her in it. She got her grandchildren into it too.
Wherever I was that she was thinking of me, and praying for me to be successful in anything I did. I didn’t always believe it but she was.
I miss her and love her still. I know she is not forgotten.
I appreciate the friends and family who have supported us through some of the toughest month’s of our lives.
Thank you.
