7 months

I've just passed the seven month mark of Mom's death. I've realized its hard for me to come to terms with her being gone because of the geographic distance which was between us. Living four and a half hours apart, and with limited means, meant that we saw each other only a couple of times every year. Therefore, it is a very slow dawning that I'll never see her again on this earth. Thanksgiving last year is the last time I saw her. My Father is asking that we come down there again this year. I don't think I'm ready though, to be back in the hometown and NOT seeing Mom. Its been a rough week for grief.
