I’ve spent a lot of writing here eulogizing my mom. Today I’m closing that, ummm, laptop screen and moving on. Having the Internet be my soundboard for some of my most difficult experiences losing her has been therapeutic in ways I didn’t know it could be. Being able to sit down at the keyboard and know that you could be speaking to everyone at once or no one at all was incredible. It’s wonderful and scary all at once—thanks Internet.
Today she’d be 54 and it’s been exactly 4.5 years since she past away. There are still days when she’s the only voice I want to hear, the only person who I think has that advice I need. But now I can talk about her to people and not tear up, and writing those stories about her here is a big part of that.
Thanks to everyone who has been there through what was a very difficult time for me.
And Mom, happy 54th.
