Mom went back to Ohio this past weekend. I am immensely relieved but still feel like she's going to come round the corner, I caught myself feeling down about going home from work and then remembered that she is gone. It is all right now. Me, the man-boy, the fuzzy dog.
I'll go to the mtg tomorrow, I'll do whatever I want. I know she's just a fragile human. We all are.

It sounds as if you have great compassion for her. That's a good thing.

Echoes from family are hard - but that is all
ReplyDeletethey are! I usually have echoes after a visit with my brother ( he is older and the only close family left) It is 'as if' I were standing over the top of a very deep well- into which I have dropped some stones or pebbles.
What I hear comes from long ago. It ( in retrospect) is from a very young part of me.
She cannot see the present. So the loving 'adult' has to reassure her that all is well.
The sadness she projects was born of the disappointment back then..."I've got you and
HP has us-"
