I meant to make this post last month, but the non-stop hurricane that was my spring semester didn't really leave any energy to even think of it. Now that that's over though, and I've had a little time to rest, this has all come flooding back. I guess it fits that its Mother's Day.
It's been four years since my mother passed on from cancer. I hadn't even realized time had flown by so fast until recently when I was looking at the framed picture of her on my shelf. The long fight she put up for years when she was dealing with that illness was something that really tore me up for a long time before, and even for a long time after she passed. Even now I'm still not completely healed.
I've been wondering though, what she would think of me today. Would she say I'm moving in the right direction? Would she say I'm working hard enough? Am I doing the right things for securing my future?
What about how I've grown and matured. How would she feel about that? Would she say I take things seriously enough? Or perhaps, that I take things too seriously and need to relax a little? Would she be proud of the person I've grown into?
I don't know the answer to these questions, but maybe you guys out there might know.
