And time rolls on

I am visiting with family and it is strange being here without my husband. I am glad that I made the trip; just really feeling conspicuous and a little tired. Lots more memories without him here.

Christmas was surreal but I was surrounded by love and it helped so much. I miss Michael still but it is not the knot in my gut that it was. I have…

A sweater

My daughter and grandchildren came home for the holidays.  I knew I  needed to give her something meaningful of her dads and I knew it needed to be the sweater he wore so much the last month of his life.  It hadnt been washed and still has a feint hint of Tom.  It has been folded in his dresser since I brought it home the morning he passed away.  I would take it out and hold it and cry into it more times than I can count.  And yet I knew it was the one thing his daughter wanted to have.  So…

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
