This day has sucked.

I bought the good kleenex BTW last week.


I have talked to my siblings, they are taking care of them selves.

My ex wife, who I talk to many times a week, and I would have had children with, her mother my X Mother in Law is 92 & is slowing down.

Sigh.

This is a difficult day

Touched base with one sib last night, left a message for the other today. How I wish I could hear my Mom's voice today...

I am grateful for the many and wonderful gifts she left me with.

sadly,
Bright

Mother’s Day without my Mom. Spent it with stepson and stepdaughter who lost their Mom 19 years ago. I have been their stepmother for 47 years and love em to death.

We managed to tell funny stories and shared great memories.

Grief - the price we pay for loving.
