Today is Mom's birthday

She would have been 65. Dad would have been 66 in February.

They met because she let a strange guy give her a ride home :)

She was somewhere with her family and got mad/upset and decided to walk home from wherever. He was working on his car in his family's driveway. She walked by... They married in 1962; she was 20, he was 21. No idea how old they were when they met. But I'm figuring only a year or a bit more if that.

I need to go put some more flowers up at the cemetery.

I'm doing well. I've got a trip coming up on Friday, so I've got a list of things that need to be done. I don't dwell on it, but I still probably think of them every day. Of course, I live in their house and their stuff is still around, so... :)

Niece's birthday is July 4th, so I need to be getting her gift (she likes gift cards, so it's fairly easy) and planning our beach trip - just the two of us.

No new drama installments. Only new thing I can think of is the therapist. I've only been twice, but I think it's a good decision. We'll see if I still think that when we get to the really hard stuff :)

life goes on
