Two Weeks Ago

Two weeks ago, I lost my Mom.

I’m completely heartbroken.

I have no idea how I’ve gotten to today.

I have no idea how I’ll get through tomorrow.

Preparing for my Mom’s Funeral tomorrow has been the most surreal, autopilot task I’ve ever completed.

This morning while, as my Mom would say, “puttsing around the house” I picked up one of her baskets on my cabinet to dust. It’s one basket that has never been filled. Not with knick knacks, plutos, kitchen supplies, snacks, blankets, flowers, jewelry, mail, keys, nothing.

It just sat empty.

THIS is what’s inside.

Mom, message received. I love you. I miss you.

I hope we have, and continue to, honor you.
