Milk In My Mom Mug
Posted in amm Today on May 13, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Today I decided to do something that amm would have loved to do. Weed. I used my favourite Fiskars weeder and weeded and weeded. And then for supper the only drinking container I had left was Marlene’s Mom mug. So I used it to drink my milk.

Purging
Posted in amm Today on May 12, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I’m purging. I’ve been hanging onto un-positive connections to amm. I use the term “un-positive”, because I wouldn’t describe them all as entirely bad or negative, but there was an aspect to them as being counter-productive to my grieving process. I became too dependant upon them. So I am purging. Mentally and physically. When I [...]
New Growth

I have been distracted. And the distraction has kept me from doing things I would normally do – like cover amm’s rosebush for the winter. I would look out the window and think, “Man, I really need to cover that rosebush.” And I did that often, but never followed through. And now when the weather [...]
I Want To Write

I have been sitting here, trying to decide what to write. I have so many thoughts swimming around that I don’t know where to start. So I have decided to “sit and think a while” before I decide where to begin. So that’s what’s I’m going to do for now…

What kind of phone calls do I love? Ones where you laugh and cry, cry and then laugh. And then laugh and cry some more. And it’s even better when it’s with someone who considers and calls you “daughter”.
A Good Mom Day

Today was a good ‘mom’ day. A friend of mine at work sat down and just starting asking questions. Questions about the disease, how it affected my mom, when she died, the time spent in the hospital. And I talked and talked. I love talking about her. Love. It. And although it can be hard, [...]
You’re A Beautiful Dancer
Posted in amm Today on April 30, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I have not performed on stage since amm died. Until this past Saturday night. In the last three years I have had the opportunity to perform, but always chose not to. Dancing before was so much for amm. She would be in the audience for every performance and I knew she found such pride in [...]
