It's been 12 days now since my mother passed away and I'm beginning to put aside the sadness and helplessness I felt during her final weeks and think about the wonderful woman she was to me and to her family and friends.
This photo is one I snapped at Sloan's high school graduation, on a beautiful day nearly two years ago, before Mom got sick. It's a picture of the two women that mean the most to me; like bookends on each side - one a generation older, one a generation younger. We were a threesome of like souls.
Sloan and I will honor my mother's spirit and life in the coming months by going through her house and belongings and finding them new homes. And by putting her memory in the proper place of honor. It doesn't dwell in her house or in her "stuff", it belongs in our hearts and the two of us will cherish that the rest of our lives.
