Memories of mom that is.
My mom passed away almost a year ago. It was the end of August last year, and every now and then there are reminders. The holidays especially and when I had my birthday earlier this month. It was late in the afternoon when I found myself expecting a call from mom.
The latest "memory" moment happened at the eye doctor last week. I hadn't been in awhile, (shame on me) and I had to fill out a new form with name, address, insurance, and so on and so on. Then, when it came to the line, "Nearest relative NOT residing with you that we should contact in case of emergency," that had always besn mom, since I moved out when I got married many years ago. I thought of mom briefly, then wrote down my oldest daughter's info since she is now out on her own.
I don't know how long these reminders will keep coming up. Not that it's a sad reminder, it just gives you a moment to pause and think of those that have passed on.
