Anniversary

Anniversary -  Not the kind you are thinking of - today is the 8th year anniversary of my mother’s death. I have never written about it, but hey, I now have a blog and about 5 readers, so bear with me as I take you to my dante’s inferno (or take a look at one of my photos if you don’t like dark places). I really didn’t have time to mourn the loss (although I had 2 years to prepare for it, you are never really ready), as I gave birth to my first born three days later. I was in New York, restricted from travel, so I didn’t get to hold her hand during those last few days, I didn’t go to her funeral and I didn’t get to say goodbye…so, what does this mean…it means that my life is full but there will always be a void. I think of my mother every day; she is a part of every decision I make; she counsels me through life’s crises; I look at her picture on my bedside table everyday and fight back a tear…then..I come back from the 9th ring, see my angel’s face and smile. She would just love this photo of the Sunflower field!
