Ten Years - April 24 I miss my mother. She's been dead ten years today. And that's really hard for me to believe. Ten years. One-fifth of my life, nearly. I will once again celebrate her life by raising my cup and saying thanks. My life has changed a great deal since she died. In some ways I'm much more confident in myself. In others, I'm not. I'm definitely dealing better with my depression than I was then...if for no other reason than I'm now admitting it! There are some new friends, of course, and a huge number of new experiences. This is all good. But this is a hard year, and landmark anniversaries hitting it are making it that much harder. So the bottom line is I miss my mother. No, make that I want my mommy. Wouldn't mind having Malcolm the dog back, too. I wrote five years ago about events leading up to Mother's death, and about how I felt.
