She is lovely!
Mom was easy to be around. She made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Friends were easy to find for her. Probably because with Mom, there was always a light at the end of the tunnel. With Mom, you knew you would be genuinely listened to. Mom was honest and authentic. She never tried to pretend to be someone she was not. Her compliments were genuine. Her corrections were in love. She was reliable. Mom did what she said she would do, but she also extended herself to others in a way I had never seen before. She was lovely. She is lovely. I have spent the last year missing all these things about her. There is rarely a moment in my day when I am not thinking about her. Sometimes that is comfort, and sometimes it is extreme pain. It just depends on how badly I need a voice on the other end of the conversation I am having with her in my head. No, I am not crazy. I'm just a girl who misses her Mom. I walk into a room where she was, and then she wasn't every day. Mother's Day ...
