A Sense of Doubt blog post #3490 - Hey Mom Reprint of #359 - Mom at her best - Throwback Thursday
What a great picture of Mom in 2010! Not a bad picture of Dad either.
I miss those dinners.
I am still on that plane on 2409.08, so nearly caught up. I may get ahead and then have time for homework.
WiFi is not bad. Pretty fast. It cuts out occasionally, though not for long. And I get to watch the Lions game.
Thanks for tuning in!
The link to the original post that I am reprinting below:
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #359 - Mom at her best - Throwback Thursday
Hi Mom,
It's actually Monday July 4th as I write these words, and I am back dating because I am five days behind on the blog. I took a bit of a break, which is what the next four blogs will about and they will be short and sweet. I chose many things to do as therapy as healing as moving on with life in these days leading up to and including the one year anniversary of your death.
Here I am going to post some (not all) of my favorite photos of you, but I do really like this one. I love pictures of your with food on your face. These photos would NEVER have been taken before the meningitis, but after, you didn't care. In fact, you loved food and time with family too much to care.
I love your smile in the photo above.
I am sure I will have reflections with words, introspective text, later on, but right now, I am walking a fine line between living life and having fun and remembering, reliving, re-feeling your active dying and your death, one year ago, on July 4th.
I have pictures and videos of your corpse. I am not going to share those. I prefer to think of you as this photo up top and these photos below.
Someone told me today that the first year is a bitch. I think all the years are going to be hard from now on. I am never going to stop missing you. But I will learn to put it in its proper perspective.
I love you, Mom.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

Hi Mom,
It's actually Monday July 4th as I write these words, and I am back dating because I am five days behind on the blog.

I chose many things to do as therapy as healing as moving on with life in these days leading up to and including the one year anniversary of your death.
