New Normal.

Today one year ago I lost the last of what was to be known as my immediate family.

Today one year ago I lost my Mother.

Today one year ago I lost what I had known to be a family unit.

Today one year ago I found out what I was made of.

Today one year ago I saw what others were made of.

Today one year ago I saw what I needed to become.

Today one year ago I became terrified.

Today one year ago I had no clue where my life would be headed.

Today one year ago I saw where I needed to go.

Today one year ago I saw a cardinal.

Today one year ago I got a phone call.

One that changed my life.

Forever.

Today one year ago I cried tears that made me heave.

Today one year ago I made plans I never wanted to make.

Today one year ago I became an adult.

Today one year ago my Mother found peace that had eluded her for years.

I love you Mom.

I hope you and Dad are watching some crime doc on tv in heaven.

Miss you both.

Terribly.

Xoxo.
