Thanks for all the virtual hugs and shows of support. It really does help.

Woke up late today, with swollen eyes and that oh-so-deep heartache. Soul-bruised.

I tried to approach Mother's Day head-on this year in hopes it would make it better. I had a tea party. It was a good party. I also got to have fun with "Red Hat Society" gifts for my mother. I enjoy being a "good daughter" to my unusual mother. I did get to talk to my wonderful child on the phone. Everything seemed okay except for a persistent headache. Then I became brittle and a small argument provoked a burst of anger which then led to the damn bursting. I started crying and couldn't stop.

You see, I get through most days by trying not to look at that deep wound left when R isn't here. Somedays it comes looking for me. I know the psychology and it makes perfect sense. There just doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it except give into the occasional venting of the pain. Then try to go back to daily life. I try to focus my thoughts on the future.

The light of my life returns June 8.

June 8th...

Yaaaaaaaa!

Now, if only a kindly old BIG house will fall on his OTHER mother while he's visiting with you then the world would be a much brighter place.

I didn't know what to say the other day. I still feel like I don't know what to say except I love you and I appreciate the support you give me and your own example of motherhood. I'm sorry that he isn't with you. As much for him as for you. I know it would be better. I'm glad he's coming home soon!
