This past Sunday was the second anniversary of my mother’s death.
I would tell you how it went for me, but I was out of town and had my dates mixed up and I thought Sunday was the 19th rather than the 20th. When I finally became oriented to date and time, I did pretty […]
A wonderful Mother’s Day tribute from Carol at Mothering Mother and More:
I miss Mother when I go to the grocery store. Since I’m no longer eligible to park in the parking spaces for the handicapped, I must walk by the light blue and white lines as I head across the parking lot that no longer […]
My mother’s birthday was a couple of days ago.
I was talking to my middle child, age 11 and said that perhaps he could say an extra prayer for her since it was her birthday.
I added, not terribly seriously, that I had no idea if they celebrated birthdays in heaven.
My son piped up, “Sure they do. […]
Though it’s been over a year since my mother died, I have always been able to count on her best friend (who’s now my friend by default, I guess, she’s older than I, but, younger than my mother) to talk about my mother with me.
We’ve been communicating on a regular basis, and, she’s tried […]
Apparently, I forgot to write about the first anniversary (July 20th) of my mother’s death here.
I started talking about it at Busymom.net, and, I guess I just kept going over there.
Prior to the day, I found myself really restless, and, I couldn’t really pinpoint why, but, I guess this was it.
I talked […]
Apropos of nothing, really, I’ve just observed that I have a hard time referring to my parents without conjugating the verb “to-be”, and, a wielding slash mark or two since my mother died, e.g., “My parents are/were…”, or, “They do/did…”
That’s all. Move along now.

I admit I’m having a hard time as Mother’s Day (this Sunday) approaches, it will be the first one since my mother died last year. I have a hard time on Sundays, anyway, so, I’m really not looking forward to it.
It’s weird, it’s not like we did anything really big for it, or, anything, but, […]
One of my mother’s friends took me out to lunch yesterday. They have all been very good to me, but, one thing I’ve noticed is that the topic of my mother is coming up less frequently when we are together.
Of course, if I wanted to talk about something related to her, they would. However, the […]
Today is/would have been (what is the proper terminology, here?) my mother’s 72nd birthday.
Don’t know if it’s necessary anymore, but, if it’s customary, I hope they throw a decent party for her in Heaven.
It’s one of those first year after death milestones. So far, though it’s obviously on my mind, it hasn’t been too bad, […]
I’ve been a bit introspective lately, what with my uncle’s death, the arrival of Spring, and, my mother’s birthday next week.
It’s not a sadness, really, it’s more of a reflection, about where I am now, versus about a year ago.
It was about this time, or, maybe just a little later, that it became […]
Parents to the left of me, children to the right, here I am.
