My Mom passed away a couple weeks ago, and so it goes. The last several years have been difficult, with depression, doubt, anger, all the myriad feelings related to losing a loved one, much less a parent. Now, she was not my primary caregiver growing up. Our relationship was more akin to big sister-little brother, due to her mental illness, and flights of fancy, but nonetheless, I loved her very much, and I miss her deeply. I hope she rests in peace, she had a hard last couple of years: brain cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer. Peculiar that I am posting this on Father's Day, given that my Dad was the one who rescued me, i.e. raised me, but I wanted to get this blog dusted off, and this is the most occupying of my thoughts right now.
I should give my Dad a call, and tell him I love him too.
