Would’ve been my mom’s birthday today. Last year, we celebrated in the hospital. Picked up Tiny Pies. A special moment, even if small. Pushing through today, working, because that’s sometimes all I know how to do.
@manton We live in the present, remembering the past, hoping for the future. It is the human condition, bittersweet at times.
@manton I feel ya. My Mom’s birthday just passed on the 1st and it was the first of those that she wasn’t around. It was rough. Best to do something to keep your mind off it.
@manton I remember that was a really tough period for you last year. I’m sure you are doing the right thing, putting one foot in front of the other. Take care.
@manton It’s really hard. My mom & I used to do a weekly phone call (land line days), and even a year after her death I’d have some experience and think “I have to tell mom about that when we talk on the phone.” With you!
@JohnBrady Thank you. I have a similar feeling sometimes, like, “Isn’t there someone I’m supposed to be checking in on?”
