tuesday

I went to mom and dads today.
Mom had bought a few books a couple weeks before Christmas.
I don't know if she meant to gift them to someone or if
she planned on reading them.
Dad told me to take them. I was happy to take them......and look forward to reading them for her.....though I'm sure she has read both of them at least once...
One of them is "The Ice Storm" by Rick Moody. The other one is "Nine Stories" by J.D.Salinger......................and then another book that mom had at her beside for the past 15 years is "Simple Abundance A Daybook of Comfort and Joy" by Sarah Ban Breathnach. Dad told me to take it. I will keep it at my bedside and read an essay from it each day of the year.

I miss my mom. I love my mom.
I wrap myself in one of her blankets each night when I go to bed. She's the last person I think of
when I go to sleep at night, and the first person I think of when I wake.
I hope she is okay wherever she is...........
