A year ago today we said goodbye. We looked at your face, held your hand, and kissed you goodbye for the last time. There was a mixed bag of emotions in your room that evening. Sadness because we will never be able to share a beer, a slice of pizza or hear you say hey, can I ask you something again. Relief because you had been released from a body and mind that had betrayed you leaving behind a shell of who you once were.
Theres a hole in our lives. I’m not sure what I can do to help mom through this weekend or this month for that matter as the anniversary of my sisters passing is just a few days away also. It’s a sad month.
We will try to look on the brighter things. Mom’s birthday is Monday, Moose with be a year old on the 10th so we will have a goofy birthday party with hats for the both of them. Life goes on. We keep moving forward holding onto the memories. So, we will raise a glass for our birthday babies and celebrate their day. Then we will raise another to our loves who have moved on without us. It will be bittersweet but it is what we have.
Life with mom ….
