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 #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.
