A Sense of Doubt blog post #3481 - Hey Mom Reprint of #508 - Family 1966

The blog will be mostly in reprint mode for the foreseeable future.

I will publish my Dad's obituary here next week as well as remarks I will make at the memorial service.

I decided to do a count for days since Dad's death on the blog, starting with 0 days yesterday.

It's all still raw. The grief keeps sneaking up on me.

I am still processing what I witnessed, watching my Dad take his last breath. And so, these reprints help with the contrast of that experience and these experiences.

As my former therapist (Brady) just told me on the phone (I am writing this Tuesday 9/3 at 11:34 a.m. as I am behind and catching up): "keep your heart open and be patient with yourself."

Thanks for tuning in.

Here's the reprint.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #508 - Tower Family 1966

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #508 - Tower Family 1966 - photo series one #6

Hi Mom,

So I talked with Dad about these photos in what for me is yesterday in the future as it's Friday December 2nd as I type these words.

We had no good answer for why this photo album was not accessible so we could review it in the last fifteen years of your life OR why more of these photos were not framed and on display.

What's the point of photos that are hidden away and preserved carefully but not seen?

Looks like we're getting ready for something here. A wedding? Church?

This picture was taken in Traverse City as I recognize those white birch trees, white like your immaculate dress and gloves.

You are so much the epitome of the Jackie Kennedy era, Mom. Well done.

Off to Turkeyville Christmas show with Dad today (the blog post today - Saturday - 11/26/16). We miss you.

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.

- Days ago: MOM = 3345 days ago & DAD = 001 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
