Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1231 (SoD #2436) - 2300 Days

Hi Mom,

I am back in therapy here in PDX.

At my second appointment, which took place on your birthday, when you would have turned 85, I talked about the whole saga of the Meningitis, your coma, the 15 years following, your death, my coping with your death, my journey of grief, this blog, and so on.

It was cathartic.

And now, 2300 days have passed since you passed.

This number staggers me.

And yet, I am okay.

I am more than okay.

I am doing really well.

I love life here in PDX-land, I love my marriage, I love my dogs, I love my job, I love my writing and wish I could find more time for it. I also wish I was in better physical shape, though I do walk the dogs nearly every day.

Things are going well.

Still, 2300 days without you, Mom, and longer if we count the last couple of years in which you were not all there, not really.

I miss you so much, but I have learned to live with it.

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 soon, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27 and 1907.04) 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. Dropped "Talk to you tomorrow, Mom" in the sign off on 1907.04. Should have done it sooner as this feature is no longer daily.
