Happy 60th Birthday Mom

October 4, 2023
My mother was born on October 4th, 1963. She would’ve been 60 today. These photos were taken 10 years ago when we were celebrating her 50th. Only she and I knew why we were laughing and dancing so much. In the thick of her cancer fight, we knew hitting 50 was a tremendous blessing and we weren’t going to take that for granted at all. I would have loved to throw her a big bash this weekend and can’t help but feel robbed of that opportunity as a daughter. I’m however, so thankful for the time we had and the moments we got to celebrate. She taught me to cherish life and whatever time we have left to live it, and to be thankful for the beautiful memories we made. They carry me through when things get rough. Happy happy 60th in paradise Mom

IN THE END, 7 IS ANOTHER NUMBER

September 23, 2023
They say 7 means perfection or completion but grief is never perfect nor complete. For me, 7 has become just another number on this lifelong journey dealing with your loss. 7 years feels both long and short. I don’t know where the time went yet know my missing you feels like we’ve been separated 70 years. Each year without you, the grief manifests differently. The only constant is that it is all still so hard to believe.
Didn’t think I’d ever survive 7 seconds without you. 7 years truly astounds me. Time confounds and fascinates me. It’s divided us but has allowed so much to blossom and grow in that vacuum, though it will never be filled the way I need. I’ve long accepted you can’t ever be replaced. Your space in my heart and life are uniquely yours.
Healing is always happening in waves, taking whatever form it needs to at any given moment, sometimes harshly crashing into the rocks. I’ll forever wish you were physically here. That won’t ever change no matter how old I get.
I love and miss you dearly mom. Keep resting peacefully
