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! The Explanation.
Here's the permanent dedicated link to my first Hey, Mom! post and the explanation of the feature it contains.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #885 - Throwback Thursday 1712.07
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #885 - Throwback Thursday 1712.07
Hi Mom,
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!
Decorations are going up in the new home on Blacktail Lane, and I am sure I will share a picture at some point, but we're not done yet. So instead here is a picture of me in my COOL Tiger pajamas circa 1968? That's a total guess. I am going by the wall behind me, which means it has to be before 1969. I am thinking that the wall may be Traverse City, so this could be either 1966 or 1967 conceivably. We were in Schoolcraft in 1968, so that's another possibility. Honestly, I do not remember the walls in Schoolcraft.
Though I miss you more around the holidays, Mom, I am feeling a lot more grounded and less raw than I have been the last two years. But I have also made many major life changes, such as moving out west, so let's see how I feel when I return to Michigan for a visit, which I am doing next week.
And that's all for content... I am trying to get these posted in a somewhat timely fashion, so I am going to work on being briefer. Also, I am feeling a little "unwell."

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

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
