Powerful

I usually keep my blog light hearted, but this is too important not to share. Sorry in advance, but today, one year after my mom's death, a dear friend sent me this link. Perhaps sometime soon I'll post my thoughts about death and the dying process, but not now. It's human nature to think about one's own mortality.

A very brave man allowed the death of his wife and his struggles as a single parent to be documented. I won't allow a long rambling dissertation of my impressions ruin it for you, so here you go.

It'll take you about 10 minutes to go through it. Time well spent in my opinion. Once you're done, go hug somebody you love.

Thanks Don for posting that.

I could only handle to the end of Chapter 1 for now. If you lost a parent, no matter if you're 4yo or 33 like I was, it brings back memories you're not ready to face again just yet. To go to the funeral home to choose a coffin for my Dad while still holding my newborn twins? I can't explain the feeling.

I'm sorry about your Mom. It doesn't get easier with time, you just learn to adjust and live with the hole in your heart.
