some people find throwing things away exhilarating and freeing (namely my sister heather- she practically gets high off it).. and my storage room project has been awesome.. but today i'm finding it draining. emptying home bottled food so carefully prepared by my mother just reminds me of how little time i had with her and how many things she didn't get to teach me. i try to remind myself that i have loving friends and family who'd be willing to teach me and then i tear it back down with the knowledge that it'll never be the same. the same food, the same recipe, the same time with her.
sorry to be a whiner. i just needed an outlet.
take care of your mommys.. you'll never understand how much they did for you until they're gone. you'll wish so hard that you could have helped them more. loved them longer. talked to them sweeter. you'll wish you could ask them how they did it all. and for my mom, how in the world she did it all alone.
please hold her a second longer and tell her you love her just one more time.
you'll wish you had.

ReplyDeleteI know that its hard but all of that stuff didn't disappear with her! I know that I may be a poor subsitute, but she passed her knowlege on to someone and I am more than willing to pass it back to you! Love you guys and I know how it is to just want your Mom some days- It may not be the answer you need but it can get easier with time sometimes...
