It has been 7 years since my mom died (but whos counting??
Me, I guess?)
Grief has infused my life with a sense of appreciation I had never had before.

It makes me soak up every moment of joy as if it were my last.
I laughed at myself then cried more cause I was laughing.
As I tell my son, she lives in the stars and she damn sure makes my life sparkle.
Sending my love to all my griefers out there.
And hoping everyone can feel a little sparkle of griefull among all the feelings grief inevitably brings.

Every anniversary brings a different iteration of my grief.
I laughed at myself then cried more cause I was laughing.
I felt my mombys presence like the warmth of the sun on your skin on a hot summer day.
The kind
damn sure makes my life sparkle.
Sending my love to all my griefers out there.
And hoping everyone can feel a little sparkle of griefull among all the feelings grief inevitably brings.
