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.
