Mom. Five years!
Oct. 1st, 2006 03:31 pmWhat an absolutely spectacular day it is, a perfect day to usher in my favorite month, October. The sky is postcard blue, and thanks to the very cool weather these last couple of weeks, the leaves are turning. Lots of scarlet and yellow mixed with green, and it looks great. :-)
Today is the fifth anniversary of my mom's death. Five years have practically flown. I remember the first few days, the first few weeks, when it seemed like life would never go back to normal, and that time would drag on until it was *my* time to go. It's freaky how quickly time really does move. From minutes dragging by like days until *poof!* it's five years later and you're just kind of blinking, wondering what happened. One good thing? I can sit here and type this without bawling my eyes out. Go me. I can sit and smile instead, and I'm sure Mom likes that better. :-)
( Remembering... )
Anyway, I'm glad I'm at the point where I can remember Mom with more laughter than tears. Still think about her tons and I still cry every now and then (eeek, tearing up now). I loved her so much. I miss her like crazy. :-(
