Dear Intimacy,

What would you have me know today?

I've had the urge to call my mom. Not for any reason, to say hi and ask her what her and my dad are having for dinner. Actually, my body is going into full feeling mode. This March will be 2 years since my mom died and I thought these griefy feelings would come in March. But, as I am still learning, life doesn't follow a plan (not that I have a plan for my grief!)

I've tried "talking" with my mom by pretending she’s still here to chat with. Doesn't work for me. Instead I made TWELVE minute slideshow of my favorite photographs from September 2024 - now, two of her favorite songs, and one super cute video of my mom tickling Miles on his first birthday. I guess this is my way of “talking” with my mom.
