Yet Another Year of Not Crying Myself Sick

[queenrikki]

So, today is the second anniversary of my mother's death. Last year I wrote quite a bit about it. This year not so much. Just sort of wanted to mark the day with something even if it was a silly post on LJ

It's not silly, it's very understandable. :)

I am very sorry for your loss.

(((hugs))) Even though it felt like the pain would never go away then, it got a little more like a quiet sadness after the first year, didn't it?

My mom's been gone for five years. But I'm not sad anymore. I still want to tell her things, and want to have her around, but since she can't be, I sort of fill in the blanks with a smile, a fond memory, or an imagining of how she would react to something. I don't expect that will go away. It's a little part of my heart that belongs just to Mom. :)
