Today would have been my mom's 71st birthday. The kids and I acknowledged that it was coming up but we hadn't made any plans to do anything commemorative. She has been on my mind today and I was ok with that until a cousin texted me that she was thinking of mom and us. Then I kinda fell apart. I have been grumpy and off kilter ever since. I'd love to go to the dojo and punch some pads but I had PT today and my shoulders are taped, so no punching. I'm a 43 year old woman who wants her mommy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, Suzi.
I just found out my aunt's grandmother died (at 100, after years of dementia). My mother and I agreed that it's always sad, no matter the circumstances.

So sorry, Suzi.

It's hard, Suzi. I'm sorry. How long has your mother been gone?
My dad died 14 years ago and I still mist up when I think about him, which is pretty much every day. But it's a good kind of misty, you know? Let yourself feel it. You'll always want your mommy.

There is NOTHING wrong with that.

Oh Suzi. I'm so sorry. My mom's 70th was recently and it hit me hard.
It's a peculiar and unpredictable aspect of grief that a kind word can tear the foundations out from under you.
