While shopping at the mall yesterday, I met my dear friend – we chatted, each drank a Red Stripe and giggled. And then she gave me these. The most hilarious napkins that she had just found on her Vegas trip. Because she knew that amm loved her napkins. And then later in the evening another [...]

An amm Kinda Day

Do do da do…what shall I do today? Well, first of all, I am not going to work. And I slept in. Not necessarily something amm would have chosen to do, but I ALWAYS want to sleep in, and amm would have supported me in that decision. Then I ate a baked potato for brunch. [...]

I’m Dancing For Me
Posted in amm Today on May 28, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I’ve questioned who I have been dancing for since amm died. But I answered that question on Monday, May 14th, 2012 – I’m dancing for me. At the last competition of the season, I was recognized out of a stage-full of people by the adjudicator, Laura Bishop. During adjudication she called me forward and presented me [...]
Finally…The Words I Have Wanted To Hear

Today my heart was filled with a swoop of joy. Since Arrine was born, I guess technically even before she was born, I have been telling her that I love her. And now I will ask, “Arrine, do you love Mommy? Mommy loves you.” And she will smile and reply with a drawn out, “Nooooooo.” [...]
“Bunny, Are You Ok?”

I’ve become my mother in the worst possible way – I washed Arrine’s bunny. When I was young, my most important side-kick and confidant was Yeow. Yeow was my stuffed kitty cat that I loved so much she ended up being just a scrap of material and two glass eyes when I tucked her away [...]
Where I Was Last Year

Today I thought about where I was at last year. And then the year before, and then the year before that. And it’s been tiring. May 25th has comforting/accepting/understanding memories, along with tough memories. And today I couldn’t help but reflect on them all. And I felt so very alone.

Ok – one quick post. I couldn’t resist this. I am lying in bed, listening to the rain hit against the house. The loudness rising and falling with the swoops of raindrops. Like the clouds are taking deep breaths in and then quickly exhaling. It reminded me of someone and how we used to talk [...]

Will You Still Need Me?

Beatles lyrics, passed onto me… When I’m Sixty-Four When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now. Will you still be sending me a Valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I’ve been out till quarter to three, would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, [...]
