I'm blue...must be the holidays

Yes, they are upon us and although there is great joy around the holidays... this year there is also great sadness for me and my siblings. Our mother is gone.

I am usually already thinking about my mom and Christmas and what to get her and how to wrap or ship or bring her gifts. I already have anxiety of the minute that I'm standing in that place and say to myself again and again...she's gone.

I see you everywhere in my house momma. I see you at our table talking over dinner. I see you at lunch and we're sharing a tuna sandwich and a coffee. I see you in the store trying on your birthday dress. I see you in my kitchen standing at the end of the counter telling me you're proud of me and that I've done a good job with my family. I see you looking out my window looking at the hummingbirds. I see you everywhere momma and I miss you because I just want to cozy you again. I love you so much.
