It's been a year since you've been gone

Today's the day. the 12th of April. it's one year since mother died.

yes, she died. some may say she "passed away," but I was there when it happened and I can tell you, she died.

it's sad. there's nothing happy about it for those of us left behind, except to see the end of her sorrows. it's a new road for her now.

so I guess it's selfish for us to moan, because there's no cause for sorrow from her point of view. the selfless thing would be to rejoice as she would rejoice, and carry on.

we'll meet again, Mi.

my gut is a cauldron of emotions cooking up a thick stew of bittersweet thoughts and feelings.

is something brewing in your kitchen too?
