4 months... as the holidays approach the loss looms over everything

Mostly meal planning.

Even though I'm only cooking for my man and myself, I still want to make a meal she'd approve of.

I miss you mom.

My mother passed 12 years ago, but when I bake - she’s right next to me. Keep allowing her to participate in your life. Talk to her - she’ll answer in only ways you will know❤️

I understand your feelings. She is still a part of much that we do.

do that. set a place for her if it comforts you.
your post brings tears to my eyes knowing how many more families will be grieving this year and how many people won't be here this year, and knowing that for so many it did not have to be this way.
