Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #512 - Christmas with Cousins 1984
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #512 - Christmas with Cousins 1984 - Photo Series One #10
Hi Mom,
Here's a great picture of my cousins: Lois (left); Ward, Jr. (center); possibly his girlfriend and later wife Amy (but I am not sure); my sister, Lori (right); Aunt Brenda (farther right), Lois and Ward's Mom; and me in the front.
In December of 1984, I had just finished my senior Fall at K-College and was planning to leave for New York in a few weeks on my internship at Marvel Comics.
I know you would proud of me sharing a photo of your family, Mom.
I don't have as much contact with Lois these days, but I interact with Ward quite a bit. This is very cool picture of the both of them, and of my sister, who is 15 when this was taken.
I wonder when these family gatherings changed so we were not relegated to sitting at the "kids table" and could eat with the adults?

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.

NOTE on time: When I post late, I had been posting at 7:10 a.m. because Google is on Pacific Time, and so this is really 10:10 EDT. However, it still shows up on the blog in Pacific time. So, I am going to start posting at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, intending this to be 10:10 Eastern time. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. But I am not going back and changing all the 7:10 a.m. times. But I will run this note for a while. Mom, you know that I am posting at 10:10 a.m. often because this is the time of your death.
