still hard

This was in the subject line of an email I received Saturday.

There was nothing written in the email.

Just a picture.

It was from my best friend.  I am always aware that she lost her mom 7 years ago this month but this weekend I was thinking about her as a Mother. Not a Motherless Daughter. I actually forgot that angle.

Life is so bittersweet and the smallest things can take us down. Even Hallmark.

    It took me over 10 years before I could go to a mall or a card store between april and mother’s day…:(
