Thank You For the Falling Mug

Hi Mom, I’m sorry I’ve been so stuck on what ifs and I should have dones and I wish I hads lately, as far as you go. Everywhere I turn, everything that I do, I end up thinking about or wondering if things would have gone so differently if I had been more patient, slowed

I Should Have Stood Up For You

Dear Mom, A few days ago, I ran into someone we knew from so many years ago. Actually, you told me the story of how he was born within a few days of my birth. You and his mom were in the hospital at the same time. I loved it when you’d tell me that

Grace and Frankie- Funny Show I Think We Could Have Watched Together, but…

Dear Mom, I was so excited to tell you about a new show I found. Yes, sometimes, I’m still binge watching Netflix. Something I never thought I would do, but hey, here I am, and I won’t apologise for it. These shows have been getting me through, well, life. I especially appreciate the funny ones,

Your Big Brother- How To Grieve & Honour Him Without You

Dear Mom, Your big brother passed away, and I feel silly ‘telling’ you that because I guess you would know? I mean, maybe you knew before all of us. I’m not sure how that works. And I can’t even say sorry to you for the loss, because it’s our loss, here on earth, but maybe

Thank you for always encouraging me to rest

Dear Mom, I slept all day yesterday. A little out of some sadness, but mostly because of a head and neck ache I had the night before. Nothing seemed to alleviate it, and I didn’t want to take any harsh pain medication. Though I did try some Vicks (thanks). That was soothing. But I was

After Life

Dear Mom, I found a new show to watch! It’s called After Life. Of course, I was intrigued by the title. But I also needed something new to keep me occupied because I finished all the seasons of Heartland that I could find. It’s funny. I heard about After LIfe from a guy on online

Heartland and Other Shows- I get it now…

Dear Mom, Not only did I stay up until 12am to message you on the day of your birthday, but I also stayed up longer after that to watch a couple of Heartland episodes. It’s my new favourite show. I wish I could have been up late watching it with you. Or watching anything with

“Love Me Like YOU Do”- because no one should tell us how to grieve or honour our loved ones

Dear Mom, First off, Happy Birthday! I stayed up until exactly 12am to post a Happy Birthday message to you on my on my social media. And of course, to tell you with my voice, as I stared at some of the pictures I have framed around my place. I also turned on the little

Pink Floyd Flowers and My First Handy Dart Trip

Hi Mom, Who would have thought that I, at 47 years old, would be taking Handydart. Well, I was on a mission. To see ‘you’. Okay, I know, I know, you’re not ‘there’ or in a particular place necessarily, and you’re probably everywhere. But the cemetery, where your burial plot is, is where I was

I Have a Feeling We’re Going to Win a Car

Hi Mom, Okay, so this post is not going to make any sense, but just hear me out. I think we’re going to win a car. First off, what do I mean by we? ‘Cause you probably don’t need a car where you’re at. Hopefully, you’re flying, SOARING with those angel wings of yours. But
