Reflections...feel free to skip


Today, I attended the funeral of one of my cousins back in my home town. She was 57, way too young. She had many struggles in her life, but for the last 10 or so years, she cleaned up her act, reconnected with her , found an amazing man and got married. The last time I got to see her was last summer at our family reunion in Miami. She always had a smile that would cheer the saddest heart. Her has that same smile...

Speaking of her , 2 years ago she told me that when she was a , she looked up to me because I never treated her like she was in the way. I always played with her and she appreciated me. Today, it hit me that her mom who was 16 years older than me, treated me the same way when I was little. Its funny how things come full circle. I got to talk to my younger cousin's husband at the burial. They just got married last spring, so for him to lose his mother-in-law so soon has been rough. Come to find out, he lost his mother to the same type of cancer 3 years back. As he fought back tears, I hugged him and told him that the pain will be there, but it gets easier to deal with as time goes on. I also told him that my cousin needs him to help her grieve.

I took my leave from him and walked across the cemetery to my own mother's grave. Someone had placed a very pretty silk flower arrangement probably a month ago. The colors were still vibrant, but you could tell that rain had taken its toll. The same type of arrangement was on my grandmother's grave next to my mom's. I smiled & blew them kisses and left. It didn't hit me until my aunts & I were on our way home that this month is the 4th anniversary of my mother's death.

I miss her dearly. Ironic thing is if my dad was still living, he would have turned 77 this month - his birthday was the day before my mom's death. Valentine's Day is this month, ugh, no one to snuggle with. There are days I want to run away, but I have so much going on. I have to look past myself in the present and focus on my future.

OK, I'm done. You all have a great month! I promise I will be back to my cheerful self in a few weeks!
