Honoring my Mom

It’s been nearly two and half years since my mom past away. I don’t remember much about that time, just flashes. When she died it was like getting punched in the gut. Just pain, grief, panick – my mommy’s dead!!!
.
To say I didn’t handle it well would be an understatement. I was supposed to handle all the “arrangements” but I could barely take care of myself. Thank God my sister Teri was there to help or else mom might not of gotten a decent funeral at all.
.
I remember at the time going through all of her poetry and other writings and thinking maybe I could put it all in a book. We’ll maybe someday. Since that time my mom’s writing has been sitting in a filing cabnet waiting for me to do something with it. I guess up until recently I just didn’t want to deal with any of it; But now I guess it’s time. I’ve decided to start another blog and fill it with her words, her poetry, and anything else I find of her’s that might be of interest.
