Just the echo of a sigh, goodbye*

Today I am remembering my dear mother who died on this day in 1988. In this Polaroid, she is holding her adored namesake, daughter #1, who is wearing a dress she made. Truly her granddaughter was a newfound joy for her. But I always knew it was her own children and doing for them that kept her going. And so it goes.
Indeed, June has been a hard month as I am continually thinking back to the events of last year when the OM’s health was going steadily downhill. He died on the 30th.

Yes, June is a hard month.
Have a good weekend. Do something fun and spontaneous. Everything’s gonna be all right.

It is weird how fast time goes by. It’s hard to believe it has been so long since we lost our sweet mother — and a whole year since Paul died. I’ll never get used to time…
