Dear Mom: You Are Missed
Monday, November 30th, 2020Today marks the 11 year anniversary of my mom’s passing.
When you look at the world through a calendar mind you mark time as days on a page, joyful vs painful years, and every breath you have taken between the time your mother died and now.
A friend sent a note her mother had written and said her mom was unconditional love. I had the good fortune to have had the same from my mother.
I became a mother a week after my own had passed and because this happened late in my life, the three of us were not together at the same time. I could not look back at my unknowing and speak more wisely, more lovingly to my mother about who she was to me.
Because Patsy was my mother, I was raised with the mother lode of love and to this moment it remains my solid foundation.
